Vondrousova, early exit in Brisbane.
It's always Marketa Vondrousova a player the general public keeps an eye on, especially after winning a Grand Slam. We are still waiting, perhaps, for an improvement in consistency and regularity that continues to evade her. She won't correct it in her first tournament of the year, a WTA Brisbane 2026 where she fell in the early stages against Magdalena Frech (7-5, 6-7(3), 7-6(0)), succumbing in the final tiebreak in a match that lasted nearly three and a half hours. A heartbreaking defeat on the eve of the 2026 Australian Open.
