Lead

• "She has a career-high Women's Tennis Association (WTA) ranking of No. 14 in the world." more concise - world ranking of No. 14
  • Changed to world No. 14. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:53, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• Add a wikilink to drop shot for those readers unfamiliar with Tennis
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:53, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "Vondroušová has struggled with injuries in her early career," - early in her career,
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:53, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Early life and background

• "Markéta Vondroušová was born on 28 June 1999 to David Vondrouš and Jindřiška Anderlová in Sokolov," - Lidovky.cz doesn't specify her date of birth. But, the WTA Tennis bio source that is used in the infobox, so I suggest citation bundling
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "Although her parents divorced when Vondroušová was three, both of her parents" - try to avoid reptition of the word parents when possible
  • Changed to "both her mother and father" Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• Štvanice is linked twice in this section
  • Removed the second. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "two of which were in Štvanice a few hours from her hometown." - a comma should be added before "Štvanice" and "a"
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "During this time, she trained for five days a week, two of which were in Štvanice a few hours from her hometown." - The Tenisovysvet.cz reference does not mention how long she trained in Štvanice but the Deník.cz source does. So it would help to move the Tenisovysvet.cz citation to before this sentence and have the Deník.cz in its place
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 03:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Junior career

• "Vondroušová continued to have more success in doubles in 2015, most notably winning her only two junior Grand Slam titles and three Grade A doubles events in total." - will need the ITF Tennis sources on her junior singles and doubles career attacted to this sentence to verify it
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "Later in the year, she won a higher-level Grade 4 singles event as well as a separate Grade 2 doubles event." - perphaps mention the places where she won the junior events?
  • Added. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "Vondroušová made her Grade 1 debut with a semifinal in January 2014," - should be clarified to say this was a Grade 1 singles debut
  • Clarified "singles semifinal" (as it was her Grade 1 debut in both singles and doubles) Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "While she lost in the semifinals at the French Open for the second consecutive year," - the ITF Tennis citation on her singles junior career should be used to verify this information as ZooTennis does not
  • Added seaprate citations for that. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• Wikilink tiebreak for those not familiar with sport
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "Vondroušová closed out the year by winning the Orange Bowl doubles title with Bellis." - better and more concise ended 2014
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "most notably winning her only two junior Grand Slam titles and three Grade A doubles events in total." - less wordy winning two junior Grand Slam titles and three Grade A doubles events tournaments.
  • Left it, because the Grade A events included the Grand Slams (which I added a note to explain). Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "losing in the third round at the French Open." - clarify that this was the singles version of the 2016 French Open
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

2014–17: Maiden WTA title at 17, top 100 debut

• "Vondroušová was directly accepted into the main draw at Wimbledon, but lost her opening match." - losing her opening match.
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 05:26, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "to climb to No. 68 in the world." - progress
  • Changed to "rise" Sportsfan77777 (talk) 05:26, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

2018–19: Teenage French Open finalist, world No. 14

• Try to avoid wikilinking Johanna Konta and the 2019 Indian Wells Open tournament twice in a single sub-section
  • Removed the second Konta link. The first Indian Wells link is supposed to go to 2018, which I fixed. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 05:27, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• Wikilink clay court for readers not acquainted with Tennis
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "A few weeks later, Vondroušová reached her first semifinal of the year" - how many weeks exactly?
  • Specified "Two weeks later" Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "For the second consecutive season, she finished the year at No. 67 after ending her season in September." - try not to use the word "season" twice in one sentence
  • Changed to "For the second consecutive year, she finished at No. 67 after ending her season in September" Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "She then defeated No. 2 Halep again during her quarterfinal run" - I think the "No. 2" can be removed since it is mentioned a few sentences before this one
  • Removed. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 05:27, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
• "in what turned out to be her last match of the year." - more formal transpired
  • shortened to ", her last match of the year" Sportsfan77777 (talk) 22:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Playing style

• Wikilink drop shot, topspin and forehand for those readers unfamiliar with tennis
  • Done.
• "winning 43.4% of these points." - the % symbol is better off worded as percent per MOS:PERCENT
  • Changed to per cent. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 05:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Coaches

• "Later on, she was coached by Zdeněk Kubík for three years." - She was later coached
  • Done. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 05:23, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Personal life

• "Vondroušová has a strong athletic background from her mother's side of the family in particular." - the words in particular are not really needed
  • Removed. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 05:23, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

References

• There are several references that are lacking the authors, publication dates of the works and the names of the newspapers/websites that published them. Those will need to be included.
  • Added all of the missing dates and authors. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 05:22, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

This article has some issues, some minor and some major. For minor issues, there are a few grammar issues and one main issue is with missing data from several of the references used in the article. Another big issue is the unverified statements, whether it be the sources not matching at all due to the incorrect one being used. Will put the review on hold.
