Barbora Krejcikova stunned in a blue and white Ralph Lauren dress as she returned to Centre Court for the first time since winning the title. The Czech posed for pictures with the Wimbledon trophy in the backdrop of the empty Centre Court.
The two-time Grand Slam champion stunned in Ralph Lauren's Aniyah Floral Textured Day Dress. The dress had a sparkling viscose blend, featuring an asymmetrical placket, a plunging surplice neckline, a spread collar and a buckled belt. Long sleeves with buttoned barrel cuffs and genuine mother-of-pearl buttons added flair to the dress.
Krejcikova came into The Championships after a poor start to the season with a 7-9 win-loss record. However, she managed to turn it around with extraordinary performances throughout the tournament. The Czech defeated Veronika Kudermetova, Katie Volynets, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro (walkover), Danielle Collins, Jelena Ostapenko, and Elena Rybakina on her way to the final.
The final saw her square off against Jasmine Paolini. Krejcikova started strong by winning the first set 6-2 before Paolini upped her gear to clinch the second set 6-2, leveling the match. With just one break of serve by the Czech, she was able to close the match and win the title 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.
