Barbora Krejcikova wins 2023 Dubai Tennis Championship

Barbora Krejcikova of Brno, Czechia might have been the underdog heading into the final of the 2023 Dubai Tennis Championship on Saturday, but the 2021 French Open champion was the most dominant player in the championship final en route to her sixth career WTA title. In a match that lasted one hour and 31 minutes, Krejcikova defeated the world number one Iga Swiatek of Poland, 6-4, 6-2.

There is no doubt Krejcikova had the better serve. Krejcikova had six aces compared to two for Swiatek, while Swiatek had three double faults compared to only one for Krejcikova.

Krejcikova also saw Swiatek’s serve very well too. She broke Swiatek five times.

In the process, Krejcikova becomes the first player to beat Swiatek twice while Swiatek has been world number one. Krejcikova was also victorious in the final of the 2022 Ostrava Open, where Krejcikova was victorious 5-7, 7-6, 6-3.

En route to winning in Dubai this week, Krejcikova, who was unseeded, beat five seeded players including Swiatek.
