Tallinn Open FINAL: Barbora Krejcikova defeats home star Anett Kontaveit to claim Tallinn title

Seventh seed Krejcikova won 6-2, 6-3 against world number four Kontaveit, sealing victory in 1hr 22min with just three points conceded in the last three games.

The result snapped Kontaveit’s 24-match winning streak on indoor hard court. The Estonian also lost to Krejcikova in the Sydney semi-final this year after throwing away seven match points.

It was the fourth career title for Krejcikova who claimed her first three in a three-week spell last year, including a maiden Grand Slam at the 2021 French Open.

“Really proud how I was able to bring my best performance for the final,” said Krejcikova.

“I was expecting that Anett is going to play fast and she would try to put me under pressure from the first point. So I was just trying to play my game, and just trying to eliminate that.”

After winning on home soil in Prague last July, Krejcikova, 26, had only made one singles final since, losing to Paula Badosa at Sydney in January.
