Barbora Krejcikova, the 2021 Roland Garros champion, has endured a challenging season marred by injuries and illness. Despite her struggles, the Czech star maintains her sense of humor, as evidenced by a recent social media post where she joked about her lack of success on the court.
Krejcikova's season began promisingly, with a quarterfinal appearance at the Australian Open. However, a back injury forced her to withdraw from several tournaments, including Doha, Dubai, Indian Wells, and Miami. While recovering from the injury, she contracted a severe flu that left her bedridden. Complications from the illness led to her withdrawal from Charleston and Rome.
Despite her setbacks, Krejcikova remains optimistic and is looking forward to the grass-court swing. She is entered in Birmingham and Eastbourne ahead of Wimbledon, where she hopes to rediscover her form.
Joining Krejcikova in her quest for a resurgence is fellow Czech Karolina Muchova. Muchova, who reached the Roland Garros final last year, has not played since the US Open due to wrist surgery. She recently resumed practicing and is hoping to make her 2024 debut in Eastbourne.
Over the weekend, Krejcikova and Muchova reunited for a training session in Prague. Both players are eager to make an impact at Wimbledon, where they will be among the contenders for the title.
Krejcikova's struggles have been a reminder of the challenges that athletes face in maintaining their peak performance. However, her resilience and determination are a testament to her character and her unwavering belief in her abilities. As she embarks on the grass-court season, Krejcikova will be hoping to put her injury woes behind her and rediscover the form that made her a Grand Slam champion.
