After the Parisian clay, the London grass. Winner of the Roland-Garros tournament in 2021, Barbora Krejcikova won a second Grand Slam title on Saturday, July 13, at Wimbledon. The Czech won a three-set fight against Jasmine Paolini (6-2, 2-6, XX), who lost her second Grand Slam final this year. The 28-year-old Italian had suffered the wrath of Iga Swiatek at Roland-Garros (6-2, 6-1), she will console herself on Monday by obtaining the best ranking of her career, since she will be 5th in the world.

The Czech will enter the top 15 (14th) on Monday, but the important thing is elsewhere, for the one who is reborn after a complicated period. After her title at the French Open, a great end to the 2021 season and a quarter-final at the 2022 Australian Open, Barbora Krejcikova has had a series of disappointments: three eliminations in the first round at Roland-Garros, and no presence in the second week at Wimbledon or the US Open. Beaten from the start in Paris this year, she offers herself a magnificent revenge by winning her first title on grass. The most beautiful.

Relive the meeting.
