In 2021, Barbora Krejcikova accomplished a very rare achievement as she won a singles and also doubles tournament at the Roland Garros.

This year, she faced a very difficult task as she needed to defend both titles and in singles, she lost already in the first round, playing first match after an injury. Moreover, she won't be even able to defend her doubles title with Katerina Siniakova as she got tested positive for COVID-19 and therefore will leave Paris without achieving a single victory.

"I was looking forward to competing in doubles very much but unfortunately my time here at Roland Garros got cut short. Last night I started to feel bad and this morning I woke up with fever."

"I decided to get tested for Covid and it came back positive. I am extremely sad that I won't be able to defend my title in doubles here, but on the positive side, I am glad I am injury free and can't wait to get healthy and get back to training."
