Although being a Wimbledon champion may be enough to be labeled as a great grass player, the reality is that it's not. This is the idea defended by Marketa Vondrousova, who years after conquering London still admits how challenging it is to compete on a surface where you can't slide.

"I have learned to move better; mobility is a key factor on other surfaces, but on grass, I was never very good. I simply needed a couple of years to get used to it, to find a way, I think I'm still improving. Using the slice and drop shots make me strong, mixing up the game is something that works great when playing on grass," confessed the Czech, who advanced to the tournament's second round this afternoon.
