Robin Montgomery Awarded Libema Open Title After Krejcikova Withdraws

The qualifier’s walkover title delivers a major boost to her WTA ranking.

Overview

  • Barbora Krejcikova withdrew from the Libema Open final citing illness, a decision the tournament announced on its social channels on Sunday.
  • Robin Montgomery, a qualifier who had won six matches in ’s‑Hertogenbosch, was awarded her first WTA singles title by walkover.
  • Montgomery will receive 268 WTA points for the result, a gain that multiple outlets say will move her up hundreds of places in live rankings.
  • Different publications published conflicting post‑event ranking projections for Montgomery, with estimates ranging from about No. 240 to roughly No. 193–194 because they used different live calculators and points‑drop assumptions.
  • Krejcikova reached the final without dropping a set but has missed large periods since 2025 with back and knee problems, and her fitness for Wimbledon is now unclear as she focuses on recovery.
