Marketa Vondrousova is heading into Wimbledon with renewed confidence after a remarkable title-winning performance at the WTA 500 Berlin Open. The Czech left-hander, who had been sidelined for much of the past year due to a shoulder injury, made a triumphant return by defeating a string of top-ranked players, including World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys.
Her victory in Berlin marks her first title since lifting the Wimbledon crown in 2023, and it comes after a challenging period of recovery and setbacks. Ranked No. 164 before the tournament, Vondrousova surged 91 spots to re-enter the Top 100, now sitting at No. 73. Her run included a gritty three-set final against China’s Wang Xinyu, where she showcased her signature mix of finesse and resilience.
Reflecting on her journey, Vondrousova said, “Last year was a bit sad as I was injured from here…I think there’s going to be high hopes again but I feel like we just need to stay grounded
