Incredible. That has been the most repeated word by Barbora Krejcikova moments after claiming the trophy of Wimbledon 2024. The Czech secured her second Grand Slam title after defeating Jasmine Paolini in a match full of excitement and tension on a Centre Court packed with spectators. Barbora went to the press conference to discuss the significance of this title.

Winner of Wimbledon 2024

"I had a good draw from the first match, taking it step by step, feeling better each time. Here I am, I don't know how it happened, but I am the winner of this edition. Experience has definitely helped me. It's an advantage to have been able to play many finals in doubles and mixed doubles. I was there with my partner to share all the emotions we went through during the match."

Summary of the final

"I started well, happy with the first set. I think in the second set, she improved. All the stress disappeared, and she began to feel more and more comfortable on the court. I had my chances there, but couldn't capitalize on them. It was a tough set to come back from. In the third set, we were controlling our nerves. I was fighting for every ball, trusting in getting that opportunity to break, the rest is history," Krejcikova explains to the press.

Her history with Wimbledon

"I feel the same, it's great to be a two-time Grand Slam champion, it's incredible. I'm still the same person. I love tennis, I want to keep playing and fighting for other tournaments. Winning a Grand Slam is fantastic. Winning at Wimbledon is very important to me, but I wouldn't say it's been my dream since I was a child. Maybe things changed a bit when I met Jana and she told me stories about Wimbledon. Since then, I started to see Wimbledon as the greatest tournament of all."
