Barbora Krejcikova winning her maiden Wimbledon’s singles title.
Barbora Krejcikova won her first Wimbledon title after beating Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.
Krejcikova’s win comes 26 years after her mentor Jana Novotna’s only Grand Slam title.
Krejcikova dedicated her win to Novotna, who brought her to the pro circuit but died of cancer in 2017.
Krejcikova’s win at Wimbledon makes her the first woman from the Czech Republic to win titles across different surfaces.
Krejcikova will return to the singles top 10 on Monday, while Paolini will hit a career-high of five.
Krejcikova’s victory at Wimbledon is her second Grand Slam title after her win at the French Open in 2021.
Krejcikova and Paolini were unexpected finalists, since both were the 28th and 31st seeds in the tournament.
Krejcikova had only won seven matches this year before arriving at Wimbledon
