Siniakova further expressed, “I think a break could do us good. I don’t rule out we may play together again and maybe we’ll be even stronger,” signaling the possibility of a potential reunion post their separation.

The formidable pair, both 27 years old, has an impressive joint record, securing victories at prestigious events such as the Australian and French Opens, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Their collective triumphs extended to Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020 and the WTA Finals in 2021.

The split announcement came after the Czechs suffered a defeat to Canada’s Leylah Fernandez and Gabriela Dabrowski, marking their exit from the Billie Jean King Cup in the semifinals.

Siniakova clarified, “It was my initiative. I would like to make progress, improve and try a different atmosphere,” while asserting that both players were amicable regarding the decision.

However, Krejcikova, the French Open singles champion from 2021, expressed her surprise at the move, mentioning, “We talked about it a lot, discussed it a lot. It’s her decision and I respect it,” indicating her respect for Siniakova’s choice despite the unexpected nature of the split.

The departure of the successful duo, known for their remarkable chemistry and formidable performance on the court, marks the end of an era in Czech women’s tennis. Their decision, while unexpected, leaves room for speculation about their individual paths and potential future collaborations after this separation.
