The world number five won the first set, but then lost the match. Andreeva lost 1-2 in sets to 38th-ranked Krejcikova: 6-4, 5-7, 4-6.

"The atmosphere has been incredible. We played for almost three hours, what a match," says Krejcikova and continues:

She (Andreeva) is such a young and unique player, she has everything ahead of her. Very difficult match but I am very happy and very proud that I managed to win on this beautiful court.
