Cat’s out of the bag as Wimbledon champ reveals divorce

Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova is missing her beloved cat after her husband spirited the pet away as the pair go through a divorce.

The reigning Grand Slam winner revealed the personal situation to her native 

Czech media, telling the details of the split with Stepan Simek to tabloid Blesk.

 “I’m definitely not having a happy time in the last few weeks,” the No. 7 said. 

“My marriage with Stepan ended a few weeks ago, we broke up. He moved out with the cat.”

The 24-year-old who won a medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics prior to her 2023 Wimbledon success had been with her former junior player husband since 2016 while marrying less than a year ago.

The loss of sphynx cat Frankie appeared particularly had to take for the 24-year-old.”It (marriage) just didn’t work out for us. It wasn’t what we both imagined, so we agreed not to be together anymore. 

We are formally resolving the divorce, but we have agreed on everything.”
