Krejcikova back in business with victory over Swiatek

Czech Barbora Krejcikova edged world number one Iga Swiatek in the duel between French Open champions in Ostrava on Sunday to continue her late flourish in an injury-hit season.

The 26-year-old climbed to a career-high ranking of two in February before being sidelined for months due to an elbow injury. She failed to make another semi-final until winning two titles in consecutive weeks in Tallinn, Estonia, and at home in Ostrava. "It was difficult because I think the beginning of the season was great," Krejcikova told the WTA following her win that took three hours and 16 minutes.

Krejcikova was unsure what exactly clicked for her but credited"a lot of work" for finding her top form again, having defeated Swiatek, Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina and world number three Annett Kontaveit in the past two weeks.
