Reigning Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova knocked out of AO 2024 in 1st round

Reigning Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova knocked out of AO 2024 in 1st round

Since her maiden Grand Slam win at Wimbledon, Vondrousova has yet to make a semifinal at a tournament.

In what is the biggest upset of the Australian Open 2024 so far, reigning Wimbledon champion and seventh seed Marketa Vondrousova has been knocked out in the first round. The Czech was playing against unseeded Dayana Yastremska and lost to the 93rd-ranked player in straight sets.

Vondrousova managed to win just three games in the match, as she lost 6-1, 6-2, in one hour and 14 minutes.

Marketa Vondrousova struggles since Wimbledon

Since claiming her maiden Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, Vondrousova has played in six tournaments and failed to make it past the quarterfinal on all occasions.

At the Cincinnati Masters and US Open, she lost to number one seed Iga Swiatek and 17th seed Madison Keys, respectively, in the quarterfinals. Since then, her results have only worsened. She lost in the first round of the China Open and lost all three of her matches at the WTA Finals to get knocked out of the event in the group stage.

She pulled out of Adelaide International and has now lost in the first round of the Australian Open 2024 to start her year.
