Krejcikova returned to the women's tour in Strasbourg after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. She had been dealing with a back injury, which kept her out of action for the first few months on tour.

The Czech started her campaign with a hard-fought win over Tatjana Maria but lost to Veronika Kudermetova in the second round. The Russian defeated her in straight sets, 6-0, 6-3.

Krejcikova will turn her attention towards grass and hope to revive her form on tour. She is the defending champion at Wimbledon this year.
