Do you remember when was Marketa Vondrousova's last professional final? It was in the summer of 2023, on the grass of Wimbledon, where she lifted the biggest trophy of her career. Nearly two years later, the Czech seems to have regained her touch with the grass to defeat Aryna Sabalenka (6-2, 6-4) this afternoon in the semifinals of the WTA 500 in Berlin, where tomorrow she will battle to be the champion against Samsonova or Wang. A boost of energy for the 25-year-old tennis player, currently outside the top 150 of the world ranking. A cold shower for the Belarusian, who can now fully focus on the third Grand Slam of the calendar.
