Barbora Krejcikova Now Top 2 In Singles And Doubles – She is the first woman to be in the Top 2 singles and doubles at the same time since Serena Williams in 2010.

And this week, Krejcikova rose from No. 3 to the new career-high No. 2 in singles, which means she joins a very, very exclusive list: she’s the 10th woman in WTA ranking history to reach Top 2 in both. singles and doubles in his career.

He is currently ranked No. 2 in doubles (her career high is No. 1). (Note: While the WTA singles rankings started on November 3, 1975, the WTA doubles rankings only started on September 10, 1984, so this only includes the doubles rankings from 1984 onwards.)
