In the women's singles final, in the first two sets, No. 31 seed Krejcikova and No. 7 seed Paulini broke each other's serves, fought to 1-1, the score was 6-2, and in the deciding set, Krejcikova suppressed Paulini's speed with a strong forehand, and won the next game 6-4 and won the first Wimbledon championship in her career, which was the second Grand Slam singles title in her career and the 12th Grand Slam championship -

Interestingly, Krejcikova's career has so far portrayed her as a "low-rise powerhouse", and the lower the world ranking, the stronger the burst of energy:
In the 2021 French Open, he won the French Open championship with a ranking of 33
2023 Dubai, with a ranking of 30, won the 1000 championship for the first time [Lianke NO.1 Swiatek, NO.2 Sabalenka and NO.3 Pegula won the championship]
At the end of 2022, he won the Tallinn and Ostrava championships with a ranking of 27
In 2021, Dubai entered the final of the 1000 tournament for the first time with a ranking of 63.
The highest ranking of her singles career is the second in the world, before winning the championship of this station, she has been silent for more than a year, the last time she reached the final was last year Zhengzhou 500 lost to Zheng Qinwen, this season the French Open suffered a round of tours, once five consecutive defeats!
Reaching the final, she cried! She cried again after winning the victory, and Krejcikova thought of her mentor Novotona (1998 Wimbledon champion Novotona died of cancer on November 19, 2017, at the age of 49).
Runner-up Paulini didn't cry and, as always, she was always smiling, and at this time last year, she fell out of the top 50 in the world rankings after a Wimbledon round trip, and now she has reached back-to-back Grand Slam finals, ranking in the top 5 in the world rankings, and the championship ranking has surpassed Sabalenka to move up to No. 3. But she was still a little lost, "I don't know what to say today." It's hard today because I'm close to the goal, but it's not enough. I don't know where I'm going to go next (laughs). Sometimes I'm a little scared to dream too much. I'm going back, training hard and living in the moment...... That's my goal and that of the team, to keep it that level as much as possible. Because if I keep it at this level, I have the opportunity to do great things. But if I don't keep it, nothing good will come out. I don't know what to dream about now? Today I dreamed of lifting the trophy but it didn't turn out well. I'm just enjoying where I'm and it's unbelievable to be ranked fifth in the world. I've just reached the finals of two Grand Slam tournaments. I also have to be happy with the results. ”
The women's singles final is no better than the men's singles, Djokovic vs. Alcaraz, obviously the championship has more gold content, stronger market appeal, and the tickets have been sold at sky-high prices, even the horns cost 10,000 US dollars. However, the women's singles field is still star-studded, and Deng Chao, the "king of variety shows", once again brought a family of four to watch the game after last year!
When a good ball appeared on the field, compared to Deng Chao's exaggerated expression, Hongyan was a "domineering president Fan", sitting among his parents, with an indifferent face, and when many viewers were exclaiming, his fingers were slightly buckled, as if he was thinking! When the situation was tense on the field, everyone held their breath and stared, and Hongyan also tilted his head sideways, and the focus did not seem to be on the field. Lingxi's expression is very cute, and compared to his brother, he is a more qualified tennis audience in this match. (Transliteration, may be incorrect)
