Krejcikova is in Antalya where the Czech Republic will play their qualifying matches and she saw able to see the distress the earthquake caused to many people in Turkey. It's a very noble thing to do from Krejcikova and she announced it on social media by writing:
"Wanted to share a piece of information from Antalya in Turkey where we are due to play Team Ukraine in BJK Cup. I would like to thank the Ukrainian organizers to set up the tie here in Turkey, a place where I have played in many tournaments and always enjoyed visiting. Both Ukraine and Turkey are going through very difficult times. Much like I am supporting the people of Ukraine, I would like to lend a hand to Turks as well."
Her message continued:
"Therefore, I have decided to donate all the funds that I am due to receive from the ITF to represent my country during this qualifying tie. The money will directly help the Turkish population from regions that have been affected by the earthquake, especially local tennis players that have lost close to everything."
