Marketa Vondrousova Withdraws from Paris 2024 Olympics

Olympic silver medallist Marketa Vondrousova has withdrawn from the Paris 2024 Games due to a hand injury. The Czech tennis player, who won Wimbledon last year, has suffered a series of setbacks recently, including a first-round exit at this year's Wimbledon. Vondrousova, who was set to be the 12th seed in Paris, will be replaced by Katerina Siniakova in singles and Linda Noskova in doubles. She joins other notable absentees like Aryna Sabalenka, Ons Jabeur, and Emma Raducanu. Poland's Hubert Hurkacz has also withdrawn from the men's competition due to a knee injury. Both athletes are focusing on rehabilitation and preparation for future tournaments, particularly the US Open starting in late August.
