Look at the pic!

I know. I was being serious.

It's a great way to name a baby girl. You'll come up with a unique name.

Enough trolling lol. Nice name!


Markéta is a feminine Czech given name, equivalent to English Margaret. Notable people with the name include: Markéta Hajdu (born 1974), Czech hammer thrower. Markéta Irglová (born 1988), Czech musician and actress.

I said in the French Open match thread that I thought Vondrousova was the sleeper in the tournament and that while she was ranked 60th at the time, she's one of the 15 best players in the world. Unfortunately, I was one slam early.

She's been fun to watch this Wimbledon. Her defense has been awesome. She plays with great variety, so she's got all the shots. Her drop/lob combo is silly and I think she has the 2nd best dropshot in the game.

The most surprising thing for me is that she did this at Wimbledon. She lost 9 of her first 10 matches on grass. I knew she was good, but I didn't know she was this good on grass.

French Open finalist, Olympic Silver medalist, and now Wimbledon finalist. I know we all think Jabeur wins the final, but anytime a Czech lefty steps on to the grounds of Wimbledon, they're dangerous!

Her arm looks like a 7 year old girl drew on it with a pen.

Also in this mug era everything is possible. I expect 2 completely random players to play a Slam final at some point.
