Vondroušová Resignation: US Coach Reacts

Markéta Vondroušová (26) caused injury to the training before the US Open quarterfinals and was forced to withdraw from the tournament, and Aryna Sabalenkova (27) continued to send without a fight. But it did not like the American coach Brad Gilbert. “I’m really totally disgusted and poisoned. Something has to be done about it,” he said. The Czech tennis player commented on his comment on Instagram.

Vondroušová experienced one of the best tournaments this year and the best Grand Slam since her surprising Wimbledon triumph in 2023. On the way between the eight best, two members of the TOP 10 Jasmine Paolini and Jelen Rybakin.

However, it has eliminated other injuries from the game, which she fights very often during her career. Already from the published video from the training that circulated on the Internet, it was clear that he could not enter the match with Sabalenko. The training immediately ended and left the court in tears.

Even for that, former coach Coco Gauffa had no understanding and he did not like the resignation of the Czech player. “I’m really totally disgusted and poisoned. There must be something to do with it. It is not possible for the player not to play Ao a week later to play another tournament. Some even play doubles the next day, “the American said.” Even today we have logged out. Vondroušová will not join Sabalenko, “said Gilbert on Wednesday. However, there is no risk of playing in Vondroušová in the near future because he has a wealth of experience with injuries and will certainly not start another tournament if he is not 100 % healthy.

“And enough! Something has to change. There should be a rule if you log out of the tournament, you must not play another week. It’s just about collecting checks, nothing else,” he criticized the situation of frequent shields and the withdrawal legendary coach. Vondroušová responded to his words at least in Czech on her Instagram. “Let’s give the Soda athletes to be injured. I’m also disgusted by my chin,” She expressed herself.
