“Barbora Krejcikova is avenging all of Iga Swiatek’s slam losses” - Fans impressed as Czech defeats Elena Rybakina to reach Wimbledon 2024 final

Barbora Krejcikova stunning Elena Rybakina in the semifinal of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships has sparked discussions among fans. The Czech staged an impressive comeback to oust the fourth seed and reach her second Grand Slam final.

Krejcikova, seeded 31st, has looked in incredible run so far at Wimbledon 2024. She kicked off her run with a win against Veronika Kudermatova and followed it up with triumphs over Katie Volynets and Jesicca Bouzas (retired). The Czech then downed 11th seed Danielle Collins and 13th seed Jelena Ostapenko to reach the semifinals.

Here, she came back from a set down to defeat 2022 champion Elena Rybakina 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Fans were impressed by Barbora Krejcikova's performance and took to X (formerly Twitter) to react to it. One fan stated how the Czech was eliminating women who had ousted Iga Swiatek at Majors.

“Krejcikova at this tournament so far: def. Collins def. Ostapenko def. Rybakina. She is avenging all of Iga’s slam losses!”

Another fan joked how Krejcikova came up with a Lebron James-esque performance when people stopped paying attention to her.

“Krejcikova when everyone forgets she exists.”

Here are some reactions from the fans.

“If Krejcikova wins the title this might be the greatest prediction I have ever read on this app,” a fan was surprised.

Prediction: “I’m calling it right now whoever draws Kudermetova in R1 will win Wimbledon 2024.”

“I think Barbora Krejčíková has just secured the year-end No.1 for Iga Świątek,” a fan opined.

“2018 first round qualifier at the Australian Open is the only time Paolini and Krejcikova, the Wimbledon finalists, have played. Pretty wild,” a fan mentioned.

Here are some other fans impressed by Krejcikova's run at Wimbledon.

“Krejcikova waits until everyone has juuuust about forgotten about her n then out of nowhere just wins a big fuckoff title,” a fan said.

“Krejcikova winning this whole thing would be one of the funniest things ever,” a fan thought.

Krejcikova will now face seventh seed Jasmine Paolini in the summit clash. The Italian has been enjoying the best season of her career and reached her second consecutive Grand Slam final after defeating Donna Vekic 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(8).

This will be the second meeting between the two women, with Barbora Krejcikova winning their only prior encounter, which came in the qualifiers of the 2018 Australian Open.
