2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova will take a few months off the tennis tour because of continuing problems with her surgically repaired left shoulder. Vondrousova announced that she will take a break via a social media post on Thursday. The 25-year-old left-hander from the Czech Republic has played only eight matches so far in 2025. Her record is 4-4. That includes a second-round loss to eventual champion Mirra Andreeva at Dubai last month. She hasn't entered a Grand Slam tournament since a first-round loss at Wimbledon in July. Vondrousova had shoulder surgery in August.
