“It’s something I’ve always dreamed about,” Barbora Krejcikova said. “Winning here my first grand slam doubles title [in 2018], then winning the mixed ones. Now, I was just telling myself it would be really nice if I could get a grand slam in all three categories. I cannot believe it, now it’s happening.” Photo Courtesy: PTI

Before the singles category, Barbora has won the Grand Slam in the doubles category. In 2018, she won the French Open and Wimbledon titles in the doubles category. In the same year, she reached the final of the Australian Open in the doubles category but could not win the title. Photo Courtesy: PTI
