Vondrousova made her WTA debut in 2015 and has been active on the elite stage for close to a decade now. She achieved her career-best ranking of No.14 in women’s singles in 2019 and has won one WTA title till date. She is doing really well in doubles too and is currently ranked No.48 – her highest ever doubles ranking.
She notably won a silver medal for the Czech Republic at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Vondrousova is known as one of the best returners on the WTA Tour and certainly has the potential to break into the Top 10 of the rankings in the near future.
