'Nobody will believe I won Wimbledon - I still can't'

As Barbora Krejcikova stood with the Venus Rosewater Dish in her hands, there was one thing she could not stop saying.

"I don't have any words right now, it's just unbelievable," the Czech said, to cheers from the crowd.

Asked what it means to the Czech Republic to have another Wimbledon champion, she said: "Well, I think nobody believes it that I got to the final and nobody believes that I won Wimbledon.

"I still can't believe it."

Krejcikova arrived at SW19 having won just three matches in five months, the result of a season plagued by injury and illness.

She leaves it as the Wimbledon champion, winning through seven matches in a row and closing it out with a thrilling 6-2 2-6 6-4 victory against seventh seed Jasmine Paolini.

The tournament began for Krejcikova with a tough three-set win over Veronika Kudermetova - a pair of tie-breaks followed by a 7-5 decider.

From somewhere, Krejcikova found the game that made the unbelievable dream a reality.

"Two weeks ago I had a very tough match, and I wasn't in good shape before that because I was injured and ill," she said.

"I didn't really have a good beginning to the season. It's unbelievable I'm stood here now and I've won Wimbledon.

"I have no idea [how it happened]."
