Krejcikova keeping how to beat Swiatek to herself ahead of Dubai final: "It's always a huge challenge, I love challenges"

Barbora Krejcikova is back in the mix at the top of women's tennis and is one of only a few players to beat Iga Swiatek in a WTA final in recent years at Ostrava last year.
Albeit a different type of surface, Krejcikova has thought about how to beat the imperious World Number One and has techniques to do so which she is keeping under wraps.
"Well, I'm definitely not going to tell you what I'm going to do tomorrow, how I beat her in Ostrava. I have to say, it's always a huge challenge. I love challenges," Krejcikova said.
"I expect it's going to be really difficult because she's in a great form and she's playing well. I believe that I'm playing well, as well. I think that I can find a plan that can push her on a back leg. I believe that I have a chance."
"There are different techniques that I can do. I mean, I'm an athlete, so I do have a sports psychologist. I mean, I talk to her on a weekly basis. I mean, we go through some stuff," Krejcikova added. "We are trying to figure out where I need to get better. I mean, every single week I'm working on it. I'm just telling her, like, how I felt, a summary of the week. That's how we go on."
