Markéta Vondroušová, the Czech tennis sensation, has made headlines with her remarkable journey to the Wimbledon finals as an unseeded player, and her husband Stepan Simek has been a constant source of support throughout her career.

Who is Stepan Simek?

Vondroušová and Simek tied the knot on July 16, 2022, after a one-year engagement and five years of dating. Their love story began long before Vondroušová’s rise to tennis stardom, and Simek has been by her side through it all.

He played a vital role in her recent quarter-final match at Wimbledon, where a rain delay allowed Vondroušová to connect with her husband over the phone.

Talking to the Independent, Vondrousova said, “I chatted a bit with my husband. We talked on the phone. He just said, ‘try to fight, you are playing good, you are playing a great match’. That was it. I think the break helped actually. It was good.”
