Krejcikova holds off Paolini to win Wimbledon title
  Date : 19-07-2025

Barbora Krejcikova held off a charge from Jasmine Paolini in a gripping final at Wimbledon to claim her second Grand Slam singles title.

The 31st seed followed in the footsteps of 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova to make it back-to-back triumphs for the Czech Republic in the women`s singles.

Krejcikova, a French Open winner in 2021, held her arms aloft as she sealed a 6-2 2-6 6-4 victory on her third championship point.

She shared a warm embrace with Paolini at the net before looking up and blowing a kiss towards the sky.

With the victory, Krejcikova has emulated her late friend and coach Jana Novotna.

The 1998 Wimbledon champion died from ovarian cancer in 2017 at the age of 49.

In keeping with Wimbledon tradition, Krejcikova clambered up to the players` box to celebrate with her team and family, many of whom were in tears.

"It`s unreal what just happened," Krejcikova said in her victory speech.

"It`s the best day of my tennis career and the best day of my life."

The result is a second straight Grand Slam final defeat for Paolini, who fell to Iga Swiatek in straight sets in last month`s Roland Garros showpiece.

The 28-year-old was bidding to become Italy`s first women`s singles champion at Wimbledon.
