Ex-Wimbledon champion Vondrousova given four-year ban

By Lorraine McKenna BBC Sport Journalist Published 5 minutes ago Former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova has been banned for four years for refusing an anti-doping test last year. Vondrousova, 26, was charged by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) after denying a doping control officer entry to her home to conduct the test in December 2025. The Czech player said in April she feared for her safety when the officer called and said they failed to follow "protocol".

Vondrousova's suspension will end on 21 June 2030. More to follow.
