Vondroušová Criticizes Plíšková Following Podcast Comments on Match Withdrawal

PRAGUE, ⁣CZECH REPUBLIC – Wimbledon champion Markéta Vondroušová publicly challenged former world number one Karolína‍ Plíšková after ‍Plíšková questioned Vondroušová’s decision to retire‌ from her recent match against Karolína Muchová in Tokyo. The ⁣exchange stemmed from comments made on the Raketa ‍ podcast, where Plíšková drew ⁣parallels between Vondroušová’s withdrawal and⁣ a similar situation involving Tomáš Macháč in Shanghai.

Plíšková,‌ a regular on the podcast alongside ⁢her twin ⁢sister Kristýna, Muchová’s husband and manager Michal Hrdlička, and commentator František Hašpl, stated she believed Vondroušová “gave up” the match, suggesting she may have recognized she⁢ was ⁤outmatched rather than⁢ being⁤ hampered ⁤by injury. “Sorry,⁣ but I think it could have been ⁣finished today…Maybe somthing hurt Markéta,‍ but rather I think she saw that she didn’t ⁢have a chance and for ‍this reason she gave up the ⁢match,” Plíšková ⁣said on the podcast. She⁣ also referenced Vondroušová’s previous losses to Muchová in Ningbo ‌and Indian Wells.

Vondroušová responded on Instagram, stating, “Everyone who has ever played with an injury knows that sometimes ⁤it’s just not possible⁣ to continue. after shoulder surgery, I’m doubly aware of this. I don’t understand that this⁣ is⁢ being questioned by⁣ someone who should understand it ⁣the most.”

The podcast comments sparked debate among fans, with some pointing ‍out Plíšková’s own history of retiring from ‌matches during her career. The Tokyo match ended ⁢with Vondroušová⁤ trailing 2-6, 0-1⁣ when she stopped playing and appeared in tears.

After nine months of recovering from a wrist injury, Muchova is once again displaying her extraordinary talent at the same Grand Slam where she reached the semi-finals last year.

The Czech, currently number 52 in the WTA, gave a tennis lesson to dismiss Paolini (5th) with a resounding 6-3 and 6-3 in just 69 minutes of the first match of the day in Flushing Meadows (New York).

“I was a bit nervous at the beginning, it was a bit windy and she’s an amazing player but I’m happy it’s working out for me again here,” a smiling Muchova said.

This match was one of the most eagerly awaited of the round of 16 and attracted celebrities such as the famous Vogue editor Anna Wintour to the Louis Armstrong Stadium, the second largest in Flushing Meadows.

The battle, however, turned in Muchova’s favour much more clearly than had been predicted.

Paolini, the surprise player of the season, struggled with her serve and found no answers to the avalanche of accurate shots coming from the other side of the net.

Muchova showed no signs of the wrist problem that required surgery and postponed her season debut until June, preventing her from competing in her second consecutive Roland Garros final.

“At that moment I didn’t know what would happen. It was my worst and longest injury but I love the sport and here I am again,” said the Czech, who lost to Coco Gauff in the run-up to the final last year.

Her quarter-final opponent will come from a duel between Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia and former world number one Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark.

Success and Resilience: Karolína Muchová’s Journey to World No. 8 in 2023

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 9, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The year 2023 is a turning point for the player from Štvanice in Prague. It was known at least since the semi-finals of the Australian Open the year before last that she was capable of playing at the highest levels, but long-term injuries repeatedly brought Muchová down. After all, this year she flew to Melbourne as a player from the middle of the second hundred of the WTA, who has to use the protected ranking to start at the first Grand Slam. After the US Open, she will be eighth in the world!

This year, he has already played 51 games (38:13 score), which is the same number as in the previous two years combined. With coach Emil Mišek and trainer Jaroslav Blažek, he adapts the tournament and training program much better to how he feels.

“Now I know when I’m really tired and I’m not feeling well. My team and I are on the same page, and they support me in this. Although sometimes they have to push me a little, because I would rather do nothing,” smiled Muchová.

That’s also why she ‘sacrificed’ Wimbledon after the exhausting trip to the French Open final, but she prepared all the better for the American tour, where she was only stopped twice (Cincinnati, US Open) by Gauffová, the most popular player on the planet at the moment.

The black elastic sleeve under which she hid taping in the semifinals at Flushing Meadows, however, indicated that Muchová will need another few weeks to get herself together for the season finale. It would be a shame if she was absent from the Tournament of Champions in the very year when she showed that she belonged to a select tennis company.
