Fantasia! Barbora Krejcikova moves into the elite ten

Barbora Krejcikova is having a breakthrough season on the WTA circuit. The 25-year-old, who won the French Open, should now move into the top ten tennis players in the world!

The Brno native was already in great form in March, when she was able to celebrate her advancement to the final of the tournament in Dubai. However, she lost to Garbine Muguruza after 6:7 and 3:6 sets.

The former world number one in doubles subsequently entered tournaments in Miami, Istanbul, Madrid and Rome. However, she dropped out of all of them in the third round at the latest, losing twice to Poland’s Swiatek.

Krejcikova chose Strasbourg as a dress rehearsal for the French Open, where her winning streak began. It continued at Rolland Garros, the pinnacle of the clay-court season, allowing her to lift her first Grand Slam singles trophy above her head.

The great performance of the Czech player continued. In Wimbledon, she reached the eight finals, dominated the tournament in Prague and finished in the quarterfinals at the Tokyo Olympics.

In this season’s ranking Barbora Krejčíková is in second place with 3,778 points. Only Ashleigh Barty is in a better position with 5 381 points. Thanks to this, the Czech player is almost certain to participate in the Champions Tournament.

On Monday, the Olympic gold medallist should see another breakthrough in her career. Simona Halep’s 190 points at the Montreal tournament should see her move into the top ten for the first time in her career.
