Krejcikova also affirmed that she will be celebrating her double achievements at home, and she is looking forward to competing at Wimbledon. She said that she had already achieved everything that she wanted, but now she wanted to improve her gameplay.
On the other hand, Stefanos Tsitsipas is the first Greek tennis player who has ever played in the Grand Slam final, he finally hits a new career-high ranking for the ATP, from no. 5 to no. 4.
He is also noted for being the first Greek player to reach ATP and WTA Top 10, and now that he’s in the top 5, his next target is to switch spots with Dominic Thiem.
Just in case he wins a title, he will also get past Rafael Nadal’s spot in No. 3, however, this will be a challenge for him since he already lost in the first round of Wimbledon in 2019, which greatly affected his record.
In an interview, he was asked about his experience in the clay-court Roland Garros that could help him in the grass-court season. He said that whether his ranking moved up or not, he was already happy with the way he performed. He could have cried, but he doesn’t have any regrets. He’s also looking forward to playing to the grass-court season, and he sees many opportunities for him.
