Marketa Vondrousova achieved a significant milestone by entering the women’s top 10 rankings on Monday. To commemorate her victory and first Grand Slam title, which she secured with an impressive straight-sets win against Ons Jabeur in the final on Saturday, she has exciting plans.

Vondrousova and her coach plan to visit a tattoo parlor in Prague later this week to fulfil their promise. Vondrousova, who won a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, got her first tattoo on her arms when she was 16 years old.

Some of her tattoos hold special meanings, such as her lucky number 13, the Olympic rings, and the quote “No rain, no flowers” above her right elbow, symbolizing the idea that success comes with effort and perseverance. As a nod to the Wimbledon tradition of strawberries and cream, where over 1.92 million strawberries are consumed annually at the tournament, Vondrousova wishes to get a tattoo resembling a strawberry.
