Marketa Vondrousova is the latest star at Wimbledon. She is playing at Wimbledon for the fourth time and has previously won a single match in her last three attempts. Vondrousova had been struggling to be consistent due to her injuries; she could not play in the second half of the 2022 season due to a wrist injury. This year, it has been a different story for her, as she is only a match away from making history.
The left-hander has been proven to be lethal when in form. Her attacking style of rallying is effective, and she can keep the rallies short with her netplay. The 24-year-old does not waste any opportunities and takes them as soon as she gets it. Vondrousova has plenty of inspiration from her country, as there are seven players from the Czech Republic who are in the top fifty of the WTA rankings.
Vondrousova was introduced to the sport at the age of four by her parents. Her parents were also athletes, which provided her with extra support and motivation. Even her grandfather was an athlete, so she has a sporting heritage, which makes it easy for her to adapt to the current conditions.

Vondrousova’s mother was a professional volleyball player, and her father was an amateur tennis player. Jindriska Anderlova and David Vondrous made sure their daughter followed their paths. Vondrous tennis experience guided his daughter, as he was the first coach and still provides her with guidance. Though her parents split up, they are still involved in her sporting career.
The 24-year-old was born and brought up in the Czech Republic. She moved to Prague on her own when she was fifteen and began training. She made her WTA tour debut in 2014 and won a title in the second event of her career.
The title victory propelled her into the top hundred in the WTA rankings even before she turned seventeen. She then reached the French Open finals in 2019 without dropping a set while losing to Ashleigh Barty.
