It is time to do the year-end balances. While the circuits are stopped by the end of the activities and the players divide their time between the rest and the beginning of the preseason, the public is preparing for the parties that will close a loaded 2021, even with the Covid pandemic -19 among us, and the beginning of 2022, which is expected with a lot of activity.

- Doubles Couple of the Year: Barbora Krejcikova – Katerina Siniakova
The best couple of the year. Four titles (Gippsland Trophy, Madrid, Roland Garros and the Olympic Games). In addition, they reached the final of the Australian Open and had great performances in various events. They never stopped fighting for the biggest trophies and no other team was so consistent throughout the year.
Krejcikova not only shone in doubles, but also singles. Champion in Strasbourg, Roland Garros and Prague and finalist in Dubai. He broke it on clay and also on concrete. In these times of a high load of matches and physical performance, the Czech took part in the most important tournaments in singles and doubles. Not to mention that it rose 60 positions in the ranking in just one year (from 65 to 5).

However, he did not want to stay at that and redoubled the bet in New York. There, he was consecrated in the US Open with just 18 years and beginning his participation from the previous phase. Then the adaptation to the elite began.

After having overcome a very hard illness, he returned to play, was in the main world championships, participated in the Olympic Games and was even able to complete his actions in the Billie Jean King Cup.
