Prague: Tired but elated, Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova said Thursday the post-tournament duties were an enjoyable experience as she looked back on encounters with Pink, Tom Cruise and the royal family.
The 28-year-old Czech beat Italy's Jasmine Paolini in three sets last Saturday to add a second Grand Slam title to her 2021 French Open trophy.
"I haven't held the racket since then," Krejcikova told reporters in Prague as she picked up her outfit for the Paris Olympics where she will defend the doubles title with Katerina Siniakova.
Krejcikova had the obligatory dance with men's singles winner Carlos Alcaraz at the Wimbledon Champions' Dinner on Sunday, but that was far from her only social encounter.
"Tom Cruise asked to meet me, which was fantastic. He asked to meet me!" Krejcikova said.
