The 28-year-old Czech player Barbora Krejcikova showcased her poise and superior technique to triumph in three tight sets (6-2, 2-6, 6-4) and lift the trophy on the hallowed London grass for the first time.
Krejcikova had already tasted Grand Slam glory by conquering Roland Garros in 2021, but this Wimbledon victory holds a special significance for taking place on the legendary Centre Court and defeating an opponent who had just played in the French Open final.
“It’s the best day of my career and my life,” declared the emotional champion. “I was a bit luckier than her. I don’t think anyone in Brno will believe I won here,” she added.
