The Czech ace refused the visit from a doping control officer back in December 2025 because she was at 'breaking point after months of physical and mental stress'. She did not let the doping control officer enter her Prague home. Andy Roddick, during the latest episode of the Served podcast, shared his verdict on the controversy.

I mean, that's as much as a positive test for like the worst of it, isn't it? To me, this is very straightforward. I'm stressed, I'm at a breaking point, I'm all of these things. Yes, understood. The way that it works when you're a player is that you have to provide an hour to be tested, and you don't know when that test is coming.

Vondrousova was last seen in action at the Adelaide International, where she was forced to hand the walkover to Kimberly Birrell in the round of 16 due to a persistent shoulder injury. And due to this injury, she was forced to skip the Australian Open.

You don't know if you're going to get tested back-to-back days, you don't know if it's going to be six months in between at-home tests. If it's not during the time that she had given or the hour that she had given, then they're wrong. All of this opinion needs to be based on the confirmation that it's not during this hour.

She said the reason fear clouded her judgment when the drug tester came was because of the knife attack on fellow Czech player Petra Kvitova at her home back in 2016. Vondrousova did not take a provisional suspension and did not face an immediate ban, so she can continue playing.

Jack Draper handed the walkover to Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the first round of the Barcelona Open due to a knee injury while trailing 1-4 in the third set. On his Served podcast, Andy Roddick expressed his concerns about the Brit's injury.

I just hope that he can kind of get out of this. We don't know what the diagnosis is. It didn't sound like he was saying: 'I hope to be back next week or in a couple of weeks'. Just judging by what he put out. If it's not great, is he circling the grass-court season? You're not going to come back, your first tournament back, and play three out of five sets on clay, I don't think. I don't think that's smart when you've had injuries the last year. We'll see.

Last year, Draper withdrew from his second-round match at the US Open and skipped the rest of the season. He returned to action in this year's Davis Cup and played his first singles tournament at the Dubai Tennis Championships, losing to Arthur Rinderknech in the round of 16.

Next at the Indian Wells Masters, Draper suffered a quarterfinal exit at the hands of Daniil Medvedev. He lost to Reilly Opelka in the Miami Open opening round before he lost in the opening round of the Barcelona Open.

The Madrid Open is underway at the Caja Magica. Draper reached the final last year but lost the title to Casper Ruud. Last year, the 24-year-old reached three finals. After his defeat to Andrey Rublev at the Qatar Open, Draper clinched his career's first Big Title by beating Holger Rune in the Indian Wells final before he lost to Ruud in the Spanish capital. It's uncertain where Draper will play next.
