Reigning Olympic silver medalist Marketa Vondrousova withdrew from the Paris Summer Games on Monday due to a hand injury.
The 2023 Wimbledon champion from the Czech Republic lost to Switerland’s Belinda Bencic in the gold medal match at the Tokyo Olympics in July 2021.
Vondrousova had been planning to play singles as well as doubles with Karolina Muchova. The tennis competition at Roland Garros begins on Saturday.
“I was hoping until the last moment that I could go at least in doubles, but problems with my hand won’t let me on the court,” Vondrousova posted on Instagram.
Vondrousova, 25, said her focus now shifts to getting healthy in time for next month’s U.S. Open, the final grand slam on the 2024 calendar.
