The Czech tennis player explains why the London Grand Slam has become a dream for some time now.

Until mid-July, Roberto Carballés had to wait to secure his first title of the season, which he achieved this Saturday at the Challenger 125 in Braunschweig, played on clay courts. The player from Granada closed a glorious week by defeating opponents such as Cristian Garín, Pierre-Hugues Herbert, and Botic Van de Zandschulp in the final (6-1, 6-3). This marks his 12th title in this category, confirming him as one of the major contenders in that mid-table area. Furthermore, this victory will help him rise ten positions in the rankings, leaving him just four spots away from re-entering the top 50.

Reaching the final at Roland Garros and then repeating the feat a month later at Wimbledon should always be good news for the protagonist, unless you end up losing both finals. This is what Jasmine Paolini has experienced in 2024, bringing back a statistic that we hadn't seen since 2002. Do you know how many women in history have lost these two finals in the same calendar year? Not many, but what they do have in common is the greatness of their names. Even a legend like Chris Evert had to go through that experience on a couple of occasions.
📈 They lost the final of Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same season.

The Italian player trusts in her tennis to achieve a great trophy in the future: "I have to accept today's result and work hard, I'm sure I will achieve it".
In the history of tennis, we have seen countless great Czech players. We have seen how they settled in the top 10, how they held the world No.1 ranking, how they reached Grand Slam finals, how some won them, and even some repeated victories. What we had never seen until now, something that Barbora Krejcikova achieved this afternoon, is someone winning two different Grand Slam titles. In this case, Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Of course, Martina Navratilova won all circuit events many times, but she represented the American flag. A fact with a bit of a twist that will be recorded in the history books.

For those who are superstitious, today there is a great reason to hold onto to explain the victory of Barbora Krejcikova in the Wimbledon final. Analyzing the trajectory of Jasmine Paolini, the Italian has never been able to defeat a Czech tennis player in an official WTA main draw match. With this afternoon's match, her record rises to a partial 0-8, a kind of curse that interferes with her plans whenever a woman from the Czech Republic appears on the other side of the net. We will have to wait to see if in the future she manages to rid herself of this curious spell.

Barbora Krejcikova conquered Wimbledon this Saturday, and tomorrow she will place it on the shelf next to the one from Roland Garros. Winning on grass and on clay, conquering her two biggest venues, we are talking about an achievement that only two active players can boast of. Before the Czech, Simona Halep had already done it in the 2018 and 2019 seasons, so you can imagine the difficulty that this milestone entails. However, we could also include Garbiñe Muguruza and Ashleigh Barty in this group, even Serena Williams, but it's a pity that the three of them have already retired. Nevertheless, if we consider that the Czech also won these two tournaments in doubles, then we are truly entering an extremely select league.

Still not quite believing it entirely, Barbora Krejcikova was emotional in her speech as the champion of Wimbledon 2024: "I have no words right now, it's simply incredible. It's definitely the best day of my tennis career and also of my life. It's very hard to explain what I'm feeling right now. I would like to congratulate Jasmine and her team for the two weeks, it's amazing what she has achieved in such a short period of time. It was a great final, very competitive, and I'm really happy to be able to enjoy this moment. I wasn't in good shape because I was coming back from an injury, it's amazing."

The past two months have been a whirlwind for me. I want to thank my team and my family, I wouldn't be here without them.
