More pressure but Vondrousova settling into life as Wimbledon champion

The Hindu  

Marketa Vondrousova is slowly adjusting to the pressure that accompanies Grand Slam success and the Wimbledon champion said her immediate goal was to get through matches at this week’s Canadian Open without succumbing to nerves. “People around me, I feel like they’re going to expect so much now,” Vondrousova, who opened her campaign in Montreal with a 6-4 6-2 win over Mayar Sherif on Tuesday, told reporters. So that’s what I’m working on now.” Up next for Vondrousova is former world number one Caroline Wozniacki, who returned to competitive tennis after three years out to start a family by easing past qualifier Kimberly Birrell 6-2 6-2 in the opening round. “I feel like everybody is going to play great tennis and everybody wants to beat you,” Vondrousova said.
