Defending champion Barbora Krejcikova from the Czech Republic has left the classic lawn in Wimbledon. The 29-year-old lost in the third round against the American Emma Navarro 6: 2, 3: 6, 4: 6.
In the third set, Krejcikova was visibly bad. During a change of sides at the stand of 2: 3, her blood pressure was measured, she ate a banana. Even after the medical treatment, Krejcikova was obviously not in full ownership of her strength, according to points she kept relating to her knees. At 3: 5, she was crying on the edge of the square for a long time, but still won a game, but had to give up.
Krejcikova always slowed down by injuries
“I knew she had to struggle with injuries”said Navarro in an interview after the victory. “It was really difficult today.” In the previous year, Krejcikova surprisingly won the title as number 31 in the seed list. The former French Open winner is repeatedly thrown back by injuries.
