PRAGUE: Former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova said she expects to be out of action for a few months as she recovers from a shoulder injury.
The 25-year-old Czech, who won the All England title in 2023 four years after her run to the French Open final, has endured a torrid time with injuries throughout her career.
She underwent left shoulder surgery after withdrawing from last year`s US Open and has also been sidelined by wrist and elbow issues in the past.
`Stepping out of the court again. I`m still struggling with a shoulder injury,` she said on social media. `Although it`s not easy I now have a few months of intensive training and rehabilitation to get my arm back together.
`Patience and time are my priorities right now but I believe it will all be worth it. So hopefully back on the court soon.
