Barbora Krejcikova Wins Her Second Wimbledon Title

Krejcikova Overpowers Paolini in a Gripping Final

Krejcikova holds off a charge from Jasmine Paolini in a gripping Wimbledon final to earn her second grand slam title.

Barbora Krejcikova won her second grand slam and first Wimbledon title on Saturday, eventually overpowering Italy's Jasmine Paolini 6-2 2-6 6-4.

The cognoscenti had forecast that Krejcikova would be vulnerable to nerves if a tight third set materialised, having worn down Paolini into error through the first two. But the czech remained resolute, breaking Paolini in the third game and again in the seventh to seal a memorable victory.
