With Kateřina Siniaková she won seven major titles and Olympic gold in Tokyo, and the pair reached No. 1 in October 2018; she also won three Australian Open mixed titles. In singles she won the French Open in 2021 and reached No. 2 in February 2022, and in 2024, after months out injured, she won Wimbledon. In 2026 she reached the 's-Hertogenbosch final but withdrew through illness before it, then beat the fifth seed, Mirra Andreeva, at Wimbledon on the way to the fourth round, where Karolína Muchová beat her 7-5, 5-7, 6-3.

"Pretty much her last words to me were to just enjoy and try to win a Grand Slam."
The person behind the player.
Brno, 2014
At 18, just out of juniors and unsure what to do next, she wrote to Jana Novotná, the 1998 Wimbledon champion, who lived in the same city. She hoped Novotná would "look at me and maybe help me, guide me". Novotná did, coaching and mentoring her from 2014 until she died in 2017.

She took the first set from Jasmine Paolini 6-2 and lost the second by the same score. At 3-3 in the third Paolini double-faulted to give up the break, and Krejčíková had to save two break points before closing out the title. "I expected it's going to be difficult to serve it out, but I believed that I can do it," she said.

After the final she lifted the Venus Rosewater Dish and saw her name added to the list of champions next to Novotná's, 26 years after her mentor's win. "It was just very, very emotional," she said. Asked what Novotná would have made of it, she answered: "I think she would be proud."

During the WTA Finals a television analyst, not realising he was on air, joked about her forehead before her semi-final. Krejčíková answered on social media that the remark had "focused on my appearance rather than my performance" and called for "respect and professionalism in sports media". The analyst apologised to her directly.

Ranked 38th, she faced the fifth seed and new French Open champion, Mirra Andreeva, in the second round. She served for the match at 5-3 in the third set, and Andreeva saved six match points before Krejčíková took the seventh to win 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. "What a match," she said.
