Barbora Krejcikova said she hoped her Dubai triumph can help get her singles career get back on track following an injury-plagued 2022, during which the former French Open champion slid down the world rankings.
But an elbow injury meant she struggled in the first half of 2022 with several months on the sidelines. She claimed titles in Tallinn and Ostrava before a wrist problem flared up towards the end of the season. "Last year was really tough, especially being out for so long. I really couldn't find my game till the end of the season. Then at the end of the season I got injured," Krejcikova said.
"I felt like with me playing and practising, being healthy, I can achieve big things. I'm really happy I'm here with this trophy and I can celebrate. I hope I'm going to get back to where I belong."
