Former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova says she is taking time off because of shoulder injury
The HinduMarketa Vondrousova, the 2023 Wimbledon champion, will take a few months off the tennis tour because of continuing problems with her surgically repaired left shoulder, she wrote on Thursday on social media. The 25-year-old left-hander from the Czech Republic has played only eight matches so far in 2025, going 4-4, including a second-round loss to eventual champion Mirra Andreeva at Dubai last month in Vondrousova’s most recent event. Her 6-4, 6-2 exit against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro at the All England Club made Vondrousova the first defending women’s champion there to lose in the first round the next year since 1994 — and only the second in the sport’s Open era, which began in 1968. Vondrousova was the runner-up at the French Open as a teenager in 2019, and she took home a silver medal from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, before her milestone championship at Wimbledon in 2023, when she became the first unseeded female singles title winner at the grass-court major.
