With today’s win over Barbora Strýcová, Krejčíková secured the third round of the grand slam in singles for the first time, and Siniaková rejoiced in advancing to the same phase of the tournament less than an hour later. In addition, they will play doubles together on Thursday.
“It’s great that we are doing so well. We will try to start in both competitions,” Siniak smiled. “I would like it to continue,” said Krejčíková.
Above all, Krejčíková is experiencing a life result. She is in the grand slam for the third time in the main competition and reached the third round for the first time. “It’s my most valuable win, I haven’t beat such a good player yet,” she said after a three-hundredth victory over Uncle (37th WTA).

Currently, the 114th singer in the world, Krejčíková, should move into the top 100 of the singles chart for the first time in her career. “I’ve wanted that all my life. I’ve always believed I had a hundred, but when I had to take the last step, I wasn’t able to,” she recalled, and had recently changed her mind. “I’ve come to terms with the fact that if I don’t humble, nothing happens. I play tennis because I really enjoy it.”
It is promoted mainly in doubles. With Siniak, Roland Garros and Wimbledon won, and she won the mixed doubles at the Australian Open twice. “Debl is a priority and I play a single because I enjoy it. I just play and enjoy that I can be healthy, that the time will improve somehow and that it will only be pink,” she said.
Explosion. Tennis players at the French Open experienced a shock
This year’s coronavirus break probably helped her success at Roland Garros. They had time to do more comprehensive training with the coach. “I used to do singles, doubles and there wasn’t much time to work on something over and over again. I’m older too and I understood that it’s not all about tennis and there are other important things. It doesn’t bother me that much anymore.”
She devotes more time to her family, enjoys her niece and nephew, and trains a little less than before. “I played five times a week and it didn’t help. Now I was enjoying more time at home and I went to tennis relaxed and trained it better,” said Krejčíková.

She decided not to fly to the US Open due to fears of covid-19 disease. At home, she regretted a little at the television. “I was wondering if I made the right decision, but I hope I can make up for it here. In fact, I’ve already done it,” she smiled.
The Siniaks are doing well again in Paris. “I guess I’ll have to say it’s my favorite grand slam,” she said, saying she preferred Melbourne’s Australian Open. But clay on Roland Garros suits her game better. “I play well on it. When I move well, I have time to work out a point and succeed,” she agreed.
This year’s advantage can be more demanding conditions. It was still cold, the courts were slower and the balls heavier. “It’s hard for everyone, it doesn’t fly, it bothered me too. I take it the way it is. I can definitely return a lot, it can be a plus for me,” Siniaková added.
