Marketa Vondrousova, the 2023 Wimbledon champion, has withdrawn from the Australian Open. The withdrawal comes after sustaining an injury at the Adelaide International.
Vondrousova recently returned to competitive tennis after a six-month break. This followed shoulder surgery which caused her ranking to drop to 38 in the WTA rankings.
