Vondrousova explained that the incident occurred after months of physical and mental stress.
“The recent doping control incident happened because I reached a breaking point after months of physical and mental stress,” she said.
She cited exhaustion, sleep issues, and safety concerns from hateful messages and threats.
“When someone rang my door late at night without properly identifying themselves or following protocol – I reacted as a person who felt scared,” Vondrousova added.
She referenced past security incidents involving fellow players, saying, “After what happened to Petra [Kvitova], we don't take strangers at our door lightly.”
ITIA Chief Executive Karen Moorhouse acknowledged the testing burden but defended its necessity.
“We understand that the testing process is uncomfortable… but it is essential to protect fair competition,” Moorhouse said.
She affirmed that testers follow strict protocols and carry identification at all times.
Other injury-related withdrawals include Emma Raducanu, Lorenzo Musetti, Holger Rune, Sebastian Korda, and Cristina Bucsa.
Replacement players include Jan Choinski (replacing Alcaraz), Matteo Berrettini (replacing Musetti), and Nadia Podoroska (replacing Vondrousova).
