Barbora Krejcikova achieved a remarkable feat at Wimbledon 2024 by reaching the singles quarterfinals for the first time in her career, marking a significant milestone in her tennis journey. This achievement also solidifies her status as one of the few players to reach the quarterfinals in both singles and doubles at all four Grand Slam tournaments.
With a 7-5 6-3 victory over American Danielle Collins in the fourth round of Wimbledon 2024, Krejcikova improved her previous record at the grass-court major, which was the R16 reached in 2021. That 2021 Wimbledon result came soon after Krejcikova won her one and only Grand Slam singles title at Roland Garros and third of her seven women’s doubles titles at major tournaments.
Krejcikova’s upcoming challenge in London this fortnight will be against Jelena Ostapenko, another Roland Garros champion who has reached the singles and doubles quarterfinals at all four Grand Slams. Ostapenko notably reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 2018. In their head-to-head matchups, Ostapenko leads Krejcikova 5-2, winning their last three meetings, including a grass-court final at Birmingham in 2023.
