Barbora Krejcikova fears 3 bags might not be enough as No-no-no-no speech makes headlines too
WTAMonday, 18 September 2023 at 08:30
Czech Republic’s tennis star Barbora Krejcikova shared a light
moment in the presentation of the San Diego Open.
The 27-year-old defeated America’s Sofia Kenin in the final
of the mega-event with a score of 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 to lift the title.
In the post-match presentation, Krejcikova had to interrupt
the presenter to continue talking.

“No, no, no, no (laughing). I want to thank Pavel, he's
right there we just started working together,” she said. “I mean the first
couple of weeks was really, really tough and I didn't do well, it was after my
injury. But I'm really really happy that this tournament, we have the trophy
right now.”
The victory will give Krejcikova something to cheer about after
a rather disastrous time on the court this year.
The Brno-born failed to qualify for the quarterfinal or
beyond in any of the Grand Slams in 2023. Her best performance in any of the
major events came in the Australian Open where she was knocked out from the
fourth round after losing to America’s Jessica Pegula in straight sets with a
score of 7-5, 6-2.
Krejcikova is a one-time Grand Slam winner. She achieved
that feat in 2021 when she lifted the French Open after defeating Anastasia
Pavlyuchenkova in the final with a score of 6–1, 2–6, 6–4.

- And then these same players will complain about how lengthy their season’s were and need more time-off. I’m all for more tennis but the amount of tennis we get now is actually kind of crazy! We all need a break, especially the players.DaveyWavey23-09-2026
- You should do a comparison article for "different kinds of justice" the courts decide for tennis players. I can think of at least three players who received very small bans of a few months, however Tara Moore has been fighting for her literal survival the past few years.

- This financial 'chump-change' means nothing to Saba. Her vacuity likely cannot fathom the "problem" with her unprofessional actions and reactions in general. The racquet smash is not my focus. My focus was/is on her distasteful, totally unprofessional, disgusting facial expressions and eye-rolls while standing behind Elena as she spoke on the podium. This woman needs a degree of therapy for her True Attitude(s). She is not fooling anyone within the WTA circles with her post-match winner "humor" and smiley behavior. Her True Self comes out when losing a set/match and as a runner-up on the podium.
