Barbora Krejčíková in the semifinals of the Livesport Prague Open 2021 tournament.
Krejčíková defeated the Chinese Wang Sin-jü in Saturday’s semifinals, Martincová also managed to greet Greetje Minnen from Belgium in two sets and advanced to the first final on the WTA circuit. The last time two Czech tennis players played for the title in Prague was in 2015, when Karolína Plíšková defeated Lucia Hradecká.
If Krejčíková became the winner of the tournament in Prague, not only would she travel to Tokyo for the Olympic Games with even more confidence, she would also be able to get to the twelfth place in the world rankings, even ahead of compatriot Petra Kvitová.
