On the heels of a historic women’s final victory at Wimbledon, 2023 champion Markéta Vondroušová has announced to the world one of the special ways she plans to commemorate winning her first major title.
BBC reported Monday that Vondroušová, the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon, and coach Jan Hernych intend to get matching strawberry tattoos–a nod to the tournament’s signature food. The decision comes after the 24-year-old revealed following Saturday’s final she planned to honor a pre-Wimbledon bet with Hernych, Vondroušová’s coach since 2018.
“We talked before the tournament and he said, ‘So, maybe if you win a Grand Slam, then I’ll do it,’ and then this is happening,” said Vondroušová, who boasts an array of tattoos on her arms. “So, I hope he’s not going to back [out], I think I’m just going to make him do it. We’ll see but I hope we can make it happen here.”
