Krejcikova crashes Kontaveit’s party in Tallinn

Date:

the czech Barbora Krejcikova His locker of titles premiered this year at the tournament of Tallinn when losing in the final 6-2 and 6-3 in Estonian Annette Kontaveitplaying in his hometown didn’t even help.

Fourth in the world and top seed in the Estonian capital, Kontaveit He was playing his fourth final of the season, but he had little chance. Krejcikova27th in the world ranking and winner of Roland Garros last year, showed a very reliable serve and, above all, exploited the weakness of the Estonian’s second serve.

Despite playing on an indoor hard court surface, where she has won 24 consecutive victories and with huge support from the Tallinn crowd, Kontaveit lost both sets and never gave the impression of being able to react. When it seemed, her ugly second serve (she barely won one in three) doomed her.

It is the third time the two players have met, with one win for the Estonian and two for the Czech, who eliminated Kontaveit in the semifinals in Sydney earlier this year. Krejcikova lost in the final to Spaniard Paula Badosa.
