On July 16, 2022, the Czech Republic tennis star married her long-term partner Stepan Simek. The pair got engaged in August 2021 after she won a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics. The two have been very close to each other for a long time. They dated for over five years before getting engaged. It will be a special event tomorrow, as the joy will double for Vondrousova, celebrating her first anniversary with her first Grand Slam title.

How has Vondrousova performed this season?

The 24-year-old had a modest 2023 season before winning the Wimbledon title. She has failed to win a single title before her Wimbledon victory. A semifinal appearance at WTA 250 in Austria is the best that she could manage before the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.
