Lilli Tagger vs. Barbora Krejcikova | 2026 Prague Semifinal | WTA Match Highlights

Most notably with a revenge win over Sarah Bailek yesterday, having lost to the same player in Athens last week. And in Athens last week, while this woman was lifting the title, five wins in Greece. Hats, sales for you. Hats please, receive. Have a good match. Nice idea, just not enough elevation. Played that point so well. Fantastic point. Krachikova takes the opening set and has to come from a wee way behind to do it. 5-3 down in the opener she was, two points from losing it three times. And yet she found a way. Didn't get the elevation on the lob and Taga was right there. Lily Taga levels the match and you cannot say she doesn't deserve it. She was so dominant for most of the opening set, but wasn't able to finish in set one. She's definitely done that in the second. That was such good tennis from Lily Taga. Running Barbora Krachikova ragged in that rally. Oh, about that. Right out of the top draw. A simply brilliant display from Lily Taga. All smiles as she gets the job done, despite a Herculean effort from Barbora Krachikova, whose eight-match winning streak comes to an end. Look at the camp. Francesca Schiavone cannot stop beaming. That's a huge win. A statement performance from Lily Taga to take her into the final at the Live Sport Open in Prague. Congratulations to your second WTA final. How was this match? Crazy. Honestly, right now, I really can't believe that I won the match. I mean, it was an incredible fight. She's played an amazing tennis. I mean, I remember I've watched her, I don't know, three weeks, four weeks ago in Wimbledon. So I was a bit, let's say, nervous before the match. And honestly, right now, I can't believe that I won it, but I'm just super happy. You went on the serve when it was 5-4, but you didn't look nervous at all. What was your emotions in that moment? Sorry, in the first set? No, with 5-4. Of course, point by point, because maybe in the first set, for example, I started to think about, oh, maybe I could win the set, maybe I could win it. So I tried to stay focused, go point by point, and then at the end, yeah. The crowd that is supporting your opponent? Not very easy, but to be honest, it's very, very nice to play in those amazing stadiums with a lot of people. So I mean, it's not easy to play against them, let's say, but it's still special to be on this court and be able to play. Thank you so much.
