Barbora Krejčíková secured her second major singles title with a hard-fought 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 victory over Jasmine Paolini at Wimbledon. Krejčíková dominated the first set in just 35 minutes, but Paolini rallied back to force a decisive third set.
In a tense third set, Paolini initially took the lead, but Krejčíková fought back, winning three consecutive games to edge ahead. She sealed the championship on her third match point, marking a historic moment in her career.
The 28-year-old Czech player, who defeated four top-13 seeds en route to her first Wimbledon title, has earned praise for her stellar performance throughout the tournament. Krejčíková's victory also makes her the second-lowest ranked player (No. 32) to win the Wimbledon women's singles title since 1975.
Following her Wimbledon triumph, Krejčíková is set to compete in both singles and doubles at the Olympics before heading to the U.S. Open, which starts on August 26.
