Barbora Krejcikova, the new Wimbledon champion, expressed her excitement and honor to be a part of the Champions’ Dinner Interview at the All England Club. She revealed that during the tense final game against Jasmine Paolini she was unaware of the score, adding to her nerves and uncertainty. Despite this, she managed to maintain her composure and celebrate her victory.
Krejcikova also reflected on her journey from the quarterfinals of the Australian Open to winning Wimbledon, despite having low expectations due to injuries and poor performance earlier in the year. She shared that she had written down her ambitions in a notebook when she was 12 years old, including becoming a top 10 tennis player and winning Roland Garros, which she achieved in 2021. As she enjoyed the evening, Krejcikova expressed her present-moment focus and looked forward to receiving a replica trophy as a memento of her victory.
