Paolini conquers Second major title after 2021 French Open
Krejcikova enjoys the joy of victory
Barbora Krejcikova (32nd, Czech Republic) won the Wimbledon Tennis Championships (total prize money 50 million pounds, approximately 87.5 billion won) women’s singles for the first time in her life.
Krejcikova defeated Jasmine Paolini (ranked 7th, Italy) 2-1 (6-2 2-6 6-4) in the women’s singles final on the 13th day of the tournament held at the All England Club in London, England on the 13th.
This is the first time that Krejchikova, 28, has won the Wimbledon singles.
Krejcikova, who has played both doubles and singles, has won Wimbledon doubles twice.
In this tournament’s doubles, he was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
Krejcikova’s win at a major singles tournament is her second overall and her first in three years since winning both the singles and doubles at the 2021 French Open.
Krejcikova, who had been struggling this year due to a back injury and had not advanced beyond the quarterfinals of the singles at any tournament, overcame the pain and lifted the trophy at Wimbledon.
In the semifinals, she defeated Elena Rybakina (ranked 4th, Kazakhstan), who was considered the ‘top contender for the championship’, 2-1, and even defeated Paolini, the runner-up at the previous major tournament, the French Open.
Krejcikova has a career record of 2 wins and 0 losses against Paolini.
With this win, Krejcikova is expected to move up to around No. 10 in the world rankings when they are released next week.
The winner will receive 2.7 million pounds (about 4.82 billion won) in prize money.
Paolini became the first player since Serena Williams (retired, USA) in 2016 to reach the finals of both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year, but ended up not winning the trophy.
The match between the two players, both of whom were in their first Wimbledon singles final, took a dramatic turn.
The first set was one-sided as Paolini failed to properly deal with Krejčkova’s strong serve and power.
But the atmosphere changed completely in the second set.
Paolini’s forehand winner, which had been silent in the first set, began to come alive, and Krejcikova began to waver.
Paolini broke his opponent’s first serve and continued to attack aggressively, taking the second set.
In the third set, neither player gave an inch.
The match began to tilt as Krejcikova broke Paolini’s fourth serve game.
Paolini’s double fault became Krejčkova’s break point, and Paolini’s expression turned distorted.
Kreichkova didn’t miss her chance.
He held his serve game without wavering and won the last game in a close deuce battle to secure the victory.
He won the championship point on his serve point, raised both arms and smiled broadly, reveling in the joy of winning his first Wimbledon singles title. 해외 카지노 사이트
