It would have been easy to believe Krejcikova's best was behind her, but with her title run on Ostrava last fall, and now Dubai, it appears her clean-striking, all-court tactical game is back. She reached a career high No.2 last season but was largely derailed by an elbow injury that sidelined her until May. A few months later, she was a newly minted French Open champion and finished the year inside the Top 5. Ranked No.63, she advanced to her first WTA singles final. It was at 2021 Dubai that she shed her label as a doubles specialist.


It was a full-circle moment for the 27-year-old Czech. 4 - Barbora Krejcikova has defeated four top-10 players at the Dubai Tennis Championships 2023: as many as in her previous 24 tournaments played.
