Markéta Šimková (née Vondroušová; born 28 June 1999) is a Czech professional tennis player and the current Wimbledon champion. She has a career-high ranking of world No. 10 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). Vondroušová was the runner-up at the 2019 French Open, where she became the first teenage Major finalist in nearly a decade. She has won one singles title out of four finals on the WTA Tour and a silver medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Vondroušová is a former junior world No. 1, having won two major doubles titles. She had a quick breakthrough on the WTA Tour, winning the 2017 Ladies Open Biel Bienne at age 17 in just her second career WTA singles event. This helped her reach the top 100 of the WTA rankings before turning 18. Vondroušová struggled with injuries early in her career, most notably missing the second half of the 2019 season shortly after her French Open final. Her signature shot is the drop shot. She is one of the best returners on the WTA Tour, having led the tour in percentage of return games won and percentage of return points won in 2019 among all players with at least ten matches.
