After a period of inconsistency, injuries, pauses, and little enjoyment on the court, it seems that Barbora Krejcikova is finally reaching that turning point that will allow her, not to return to the top positions in the rankings, but to regain some consistency within a calendar that has barely seen her play. In her seventh tournament of the season, the Czech player finally managed to break her ceiling in this 2025, stringing together three consecutive victories for the first time. Also, you will notice that her wins against Alycia Parks (6-4, 4-6, 6-0), Elina Svitolina (2-6, 6-4, 6-3), and Iva Jovic (6-4, 3-6, 6-2) have something in common.

Indeed, Krejcikova has forgotten how to win a match without dropping sets. Beyond the joke, this excess time on the court only spells good news for the multiple Grand Slam champion, a good formula to test herself physically and, at the same time, prove that she remains competitive, making the right decisions when the situation gets tight. This way, she has reached the round of 16 at the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati, where she will clash with Jasmine Paolini, a rematch of the Wimbledon 2024 final. Hear her words at the Tennis Channel.

Match outcome with Jovic

"I would have liked to finish better with a winning shot, but she couldn't make that second serve, so it doesn't matter how the last point went, what matters is winning the match. It was a tough match, so I'm very proud of having overcome those difficult moments and coming through in the end. At the last moment, I was able to find solutions and thanks to that, I could stay alive in the competition."

Happy with her performance

"Of all the things I did on the court today, I believe the best thing I did was serving, I served really well. It's true that I lost the second set and then everything got even, but at that moment, I thought I had been a bit unlucky with some shots, I thought maybe I hadn't been able to win some specific points, points that I shouldn't have lost. After losing the second set, I stood my ground, I was convinced I was going in the right direction, so I stayed there every point until I achieved it."

Another match to a third set

"Let's say I love playing tennis, I love playing matches, much more than training sessions, so I try to spend the maximum time possible on the court every match day (laughs). What I don't do is watch many matches in the stadiums, it's very hot this summer, so I prefer following some duels on TV, especially some of the evening matches, I love that."

Striving for consistency

"This is very difficult to answer since every match is different, every tournament is different [...] One of the most complicated things, or at least one that I usually struggle with, is arriving well-prepared for certain types of tournaments. I know we are professionals and we have to be ready every week, at every tournament, plus now every tournament is Mandatory, and everyone is playing very well. Having that good feeling every week is very hard to find, especially if in the past you have had major spikes in performance. For now, I am happy, I am enjoying the tour and my matches again."
