The former world No. 2 has been in fine form this season. She did not have a great start as she crashed out in the second round of the Adelaide International 2. Krejcikova managed to reach the fourth round in the Australian Open and won the doubles event alongside Katerina Siniakova. The 27-year-old couldn’t get past the second round in Abu Dhabi and the first round in Qatar.

Krejcikova’s biggest triumph of the season in singles competitions came in the Dubai Tennis Championships. She won the final with victories against the top 3 ranked players in the world – Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula, and Iga Swiatek. This was the second time she defeated Swiatek in a final. With this win, Krejcikova picked up her first WTA 1000 singles title of her career.
