Barbora Krejcikova Scrapes by in Wimbledon Title Defense

Barbora Krejcikova's title defense at Wimbledon remains intact after a challenging victory over American Caroline Dolehide on Thursday. The 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 win was far from effortless as Krejcikova struggled through the match.

Court Two witnessed a game that was neither smooth nor glamorous, with Krejcikova battling past her opponent amidst a flurry of errors. Spectators, unaware of the reigning champion's presence, watched the Czech player fight through her match, hindered by ongoing back and thigh issues.

Krejcikova, faced with an inconsistent season record, managed to secure her spot in the third round, earning light applause from the crowd. She now prepares for a more formidable challenge against the 10th seed, Emma Navarro, in the next round.
