Twenty-five-year-old Krejčíková played her second and by far the most important finals of her career last week. Although the five-time Grand Slam champion in women’s and mixed doubles lost in a decisive battle to former world number one Garbiña Muguruza from Spain, she significantly improved her best-ranked position so far.
Australian Ashleigh Barty is still the world leader by a large margin. The best Czech Karolína Plíšková remained sixth after an early elimination in Dubai, Petra Kvitová, who gave up her first match due to an injury, is still tenth.

Russian Daniil Medvedev moved up the men’s ranking under the sovereign ruler Novak Djokovic. The recent winner of the tournament in Marseille is in second place as the first player outside the “big four”, consisting of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Djokovic and Andy Murray, since July 2005, when Lleyton Hewitt was second.
The best Czech tennis player Jiří Veselý is 69.
Bouzková takes a break
Last week, the 22-year-old Prague native Bouzková played at the Mexican tournament in Guadalajara, where she made it to the semifinals, in which she was not enough for the later overall winner, the Sara Sara Sorribesová.
However, he will not present himself at another event in Mexico. In Monterrey, a year ago, she made it to the finals at the WTA circuit for the first time in her career, in which she lost to Elina Svitolin from Ukraine.
