Czech Republic's Barbora Krejcikova claims her maiden Grand Slam title after beating Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1 2-6 6-4 in the French Open final
"I spent a lot of time with Jana before she died. Her last words to me were 'enjoy tennis and try and win a Grand Slam'," she said."It was amazing that I got the chance to meet her. She was such an inspiration. I miss her and I hope she's really happy."
She won the trophy on clay at Strasbourg, France, last month and is now on a 12-match winning streak. Saturday's matchup between two first-time Grand Slam finalists was perhaps a fitting conclusion to a two weeks filled with surprises.
