Barbora Krejcikova continued her brilliant season so far by reaching a new milestone in becoming a Grand Slam finalist for the first time at the French Open after overcoming Maria Sakkari.
Krejcikova saw off the Greek 7-5, 4-6, 9-7 in the end saving match point and discussed the tight battle as well as her next task in fellow first time Major finalist, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
"I actually think we both deserve to win because we played a really, really great match," Krejcikova said, during her post-match press conference.
"But only one can win. I'm really happy that it's me, that I'm going to have another chance to play another match."
"Anastasia, she's really good player, really experienced," she added. "She's in a final, so she must be on a roll, playing well."
"I just think it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm just really going to enjoy it because I was never expecting to actually be this far during this tournament. I'm just going to have fun and just going to enjoy and fight until the end."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
