“Sorry to disappoint but still on baby No. 1” – Barbora Krejcikova hilariously shoots down pregnancy prank on April Fool’s Day

On April Fool’s Day, Barbora Krejcikova amusingly replied to a fan’s announcement that she was pregnant.

A person who is passionate about tennis, known as Moonball Enthusiast, posted on X (previously known as Twitter) and jokingly claimed that Krejcikova would be having a baby this year as an April Fool’s Day prank.

Krejcikova noticed this playful prank and quickly refuted the rumor, instead posting a video of her beloved dog, whom she referred to as her “baby number one.”

“Sorry to disappoint but I am still on baby number one,”Krejcikova replied.

Despite providing an update in late February that her back injury had healed, Krejcikova remains absent from the tennis scene due to catching severe flu. This ailment caused her to pull out of the 2024 Qatar Open, and she continues to focus on recovering and returning to the sport.

On March 31, Krejcikova shared another health update on her Instagram story, stating that she had been bedridden for the previous few days and was not permitted to practice.

“Some more news about my condition. Today has been the first full day outside of my bed. I am still not allowed to practice or do anything in higher intensity so I am starting with some easy walks in our nature. I will keep you updated about my progress in next days. Barbora,”Krejcikova wrote.

Barbora Krejcikova Falls Short in Defending Her Dubai Tennis Championship Title

Due to a back injury and flu, Barbora Krejcikova was forced to take an extended break, causing her to miss the first four WTA 1000 tournaments – the Qatar Open, Dubai Tennis Championships, Indian Wells Open, and Miami Open.

In 2023, the Czech was unable to defend her title in Dubai. However, she went on to lift her first WTA 1000 title by defeating Iga Swiatek in the final.

During her 2023 campaign, she was able to secure a victory in the first round by defeating Irina-Camelia Begu with a score of 6-4, 6-2. In the second round, she faced a tough match against Daria Kasatkina and eventually emerged victorious with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. Moving on to the third round, she easily defeated fellow Czech player Petra Kvitova with a score of 6-3, 6-2.

After defeating the No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals with a comeback victory of 0-6, 7-6(2), 6-1, Krejcikova proceeded to defeat Jessica Pegula 6-1, 5-7, 6-0, setting up a final showdown against Iga Swiatek. In the end, it was the Czech player who emerged triumphant, defeating the World No. 1 6-4, 6-2 in the title match.

Despite losing in the 2021 final to Garbine Muguruza with a score of 6-7(6), 3-6, Krejcikova was able to clinch the title on her second attempt. She had also reached the final in 2021, but was unable to secure the win at that time.
