Last year’s Wimbledon Champion stated that she had become infected with a viral infection

29-year-old Czech tennis player and 16th world racket Barbora Krachikov She posted a post on her social networks, where she stated that she had infected a viral infection at the 2025 Wimbledon Tournament:

“It’s still very unfortunate … 🥺

Wimbledon will always occupy a special place in my heart. Returning after a 6-month break due to a back injury, my goal was to just go out on the grass and get the first round. I did it. And again I began to feel more.

That’s what made my defeat in the third round. I felt perfectly morally, but during the match my body just stopped responding. At first I thought I ate too early, but did not help, even during the match. Later, I learned that it was a viral infection that glued me to bed for a few days.

This is what made me get off the steam room the next day, which was incredibly difficult. I am proud of how far I went, what battle gave and how I returned. And I am so grateful for the love and energy from the public of Wimbledon and fans. You really amazing 💚 🎾

See you next year, Wimbledon 🙏 »

In 2024, Barbora won the Trophy Wimbledon, but failed to protect it, giving way to Emmy Navarro in the 1/16 finals. It will fall from the top 50 from Monday.
