When Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina meet in the Wimbledon final, it will be the fifth edition running that a first-time women's champion will go through the wood-panelled revolving-doors of the All England Club.
The fast-paced merry-go-round of champions that has become a feature of the women's game, with Australian holder Ash Barty not even playing anymore, is in stark contrast to the 'same old, same old' of the men's game at Wimbledon for almost two decades.
Indeed, since 2003, only four men - Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray - have lifted the Challenge Cup.
While the 'Big Four' have become accustomed to setting records pretty much every time they step on court, Saturday's women's final will be no less momentous no matter who wins between Jabeur and Kazakh Rybakina.
Third seed Jabeur, Tunisia's so-called "Minister of Happiness", will be out to lift the spirits of an entire continent as she targets becoming the first African woman, as well as the first Arab, to win a grand slam title in the Open era.
She already has vivid visions of what that moment will be like.
"A lot of times I imagined myself giving a good speech, holding the trophy, seeing the trophy," said the world No.2 on the eve of a showdown that will feature two first-time grand slam finalists for the first time since 1962.
"I did all of it. Now I need to really hold the trophy."
Jabeur's face is already plastered on giant billboards all over Tunisia and, with the final taking place as the country celebrates Eid ul-Adha, she hopes to make July 9, 2022 a day to remember.

"I want to go bigger, inspire many more generations. Tunisia is connected to the Arab world, is connected to the African continent. We want to see more players," said the trailblazer.
"It's amazing to really inspire the new generation. Just to show that nothing is impossible."
Rybakina also believes in the "nothing is impossible" mantra as the Russian-born 23-year-old bids to become the first Kazakh to win a singles major.
The big-hitter has struck 144 winners, including 49 aces, while flattening six opponents, including grand slam champions Bianca Andreescu and Simona Halep.
But rather than being asked about the damage she causes with her destructive serves and bone-rattling groundstrokes, Rybakina has found herself under the spotlight due to her links with Russia.
With Russian and Belarusian players banned from Wimbledon following the invasion of Ukraine, Rybakina would have been excluded from this year's Wimbledon had she not switched allegiance to Kazakhstan four years ago.
She's found herself swatting away questions about the country of her birth including, 'In your heart do you feel Russian still?' and 'Do you consider yourself someone who still lives in Moscow or are you based in Kazakhstan?'
Showing the non-committal diplomacy of a world leader, she's offered answers such as: "I'm travelling every week. Most of the time I spend on tour. So I don't live anywhere."
She's now relishing the challenge of facing the Tunisian in a final that will showcase a contrast of styles.
"We are going together on this journey," the 17th seed said. "It's just amazing that we are making history."
