Marketa 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 Thursday on social media. “Patience and time are my priorities right now, but I believe it will all be worth it," Vondrousova posted. 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.
