She currently holds the record for the most aces (31) in a match on the WTA tour, which she set in a second round match against Mónica Puig at the 2016 Australian Open.
In Tashkent Open 2016, she won her maiden WTA title.
What a confidence boost to start the season with a win like this. I'm so happy for her, matches like this are those that can set up a successful season
Mental strength on Kristyna has definitely changed, in the past this would have end in straights after Konta break her in first set, she's more confident now and I hope she can keep improving more
Tough day too as she lost in singles and doubles, they lost first set 5-7 after being up 5-2
Kristyna plays in a few hours, I think she can pass Golubic and actually have a good run to the point to get to Kerber, maybe I'm just blind but, pojd Kris!
PS: Funny how they're playing doubles here too, of course they clash in singles lol
Her mental toughness has improved so much!! It's like seeing another player. Now against Angie, let's hope it's a night match because a match against Angie in the heat is too physical for Kris, she has to be more aggressive and keep the points short.
She had some words with the umpire during the match. It was windy and Irina started her serve four times without the umpire warning her for time. During the changeover, Kris told him "Do you job!"
