Former World No. 2 and Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejcikova made a heartbreaking announcement on social media.
The 2024 Wimbledon champion has not been healthy for most of 2025, and it seems her health issues are continuing.

She recently reunited with longtime doubles partner Katerina Siniakova to win her lone title of the year at the Korea Open.
Krejcikova has a 14-8 win-loss record in singles and an a 11-4 record in doubles in 2025.
Her injury issues have been multiple, and in different parts of her body.
Krejcikova’s struggles are reminiscent of Paula Badosa who is hurt again also.
Paula Badosa Injured Again
Krejcikova, 29, has played some years of her career injury free, but it feels like Paula Badosa, 27, has been struggling for years with her chronic back injury. Now, she is dealing with a thigh injury.
Paula Badosa se retira entre lágrimas. Era su segundo partido tras su vuelta al circuito tres meses después. Parecen problemas en la ingle.
Es un calvario sin fin. pic.twitter.com/qX8fqG2db9

Too Much Tennis Continues To Be Talking Point Amid Injuries
The common demoninator is too much tennis, and it is late in the season, but unfortunately neither of these women had much of a season because of the wear and tear fro previous seasons.
Iga Swiatek recently spoke about the sheer amount of tennis players are expected to play after her China Open third round opponent Camila Osorio was forced to retire because of injury.
Swiatek, 24, has already hinted that as she gets older, she may adjust her schedule and not play all of the WTA-sanctioned tournaments to protect her health and longevity.
Both the WTA and ATP tours should be hearing and seeing all of the injuries and retirements, particularly late in the year, and figuring out a way to address them to satisfy the players, tournaments, and fans fairly.
