Former World No.2 Krejcikova grabbed her first singles title of the year, and sixth of her career, with the 91-minute stunner of top seed Swiatek. Krejcikova beat the world’s top three players consecutively to clinch the title.
“I think I showed my best tennis this week,” Krejcikova said in her champion’s press conference. “I’m really happy with the way how I played, how I was able to play my tennis but also hold the nerves, just enjoy everything that was happening during this week on the court.”
Saturday’s win marked Krejcikova’s fourth victory over a Top 10 player this week. That feat began in the second round, where the Czech had to save four match points against World No.8 Daria Kasatkina.
“That match that got really close, I almost lost in the second round, I mean, it gave me confidence,” Krejcikova said. “I think from there on, I was just starting to play, every single game, better tennis.”
Following that escape, Krejcikova closed out the tournament by defeating the top three players in the WTA rankings in succession: No.3 Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals, No.2 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals, and World No.1 Swiatek in the final.
