Marketa Vondrousova is always a player that captures the attention of the general public, especially after her Grand Slam victory. We are still waiting for perhaps a leap in consistency and regularity that continues to elude her. She won't correct it in her first tournament of the year, a WTA Brisbane 2026 where she fell in the early stages to Magdalena Frech (7-5, 6-7(3), 7-6(0)), succumbing in the final tiebreak in a match that lasted almost three and a half hours. A heartbreaking defeat on the doorstep of the Australian Open 2026.
