Marketa Vondrousova, of the Czech Republic, reacts after defeating Elena Rybakina, of Kazakhstan, during the fourth round of the US Open tennis championships on Sunday, Aug. 31, 2025, in New York.“So sorry for Marketa after all she’s been through,” Sabalenka wrote on her Instagram Story after the news broke that their match at Arthur Ashe Stadium would not be taking place. “She has been playing amazing tennis and I know how badly this must hurt for her. Take care of yourself and I hope you can recover quickly. Love Aryna.” The 26-year-old Vondroušová, the 2023 Wimbledon champ, came into the tournament unseeded and won three straight matches — losing just one set in a third-round win over No. 9 Elena Rybakina — to set up a battle with Sabalenka.Venus Williams’ stunning US Open doubles run comes to a close in quarterfinalsIn a statement to the U.S. Open, Vondroušová explained that she consulted with the tournament’s doctor and decided not to push her knee issue further. “I am sorry to announce that I have to withdraw from my quarterfinal match this evening due to a knee injury,” Vondroušová, who has battled multiple injuries the past few years, said.
