Barbora Krejcikova has been emblematic of the WTA Finals so far.
The Czech star has reached the final of the doubles tournament alongside compatriot Katerina Siniakova and will face Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens on Monday.
But while her tennis has been exciting to watch at times, Krejcikova has been just as entertaining in other ways.
In her semi-final match against Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jelena Ostapenko, Kichenok was forced into a medical time-out, leaving the Czech stars to sit and wait patiently.
To pass the time, music started playing inside the stadium and Krejcikova was clearly a huge fan.
As Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” rumbled through the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, the Czech star started singing — much to the delight of the crowd.

What else did Krejcikova do at the WTA Finals?
Along with singing Swift songs during her matches, Krejcikova has also been a keen observer of others during the tournament.
Indeed, the Czech has regularly been spotted in the crowd for a number of singles matches that have taken place.
A hilarious thread by the reporter Blair Henley shows Krejcikova present at various matches and some of her facial expressions are priceless.
At one point, Krejcikova even tweeted Blair, showing that she was watching Coco Gauff’s game with Daria Kasatkina on her laptop, even though she wasn’t at the stadium.

How did Krejcikova and Siniakova reach the final?
Krejcikova and Siniakova are the highest ranked women’s doubles players in the world and have won all four Grand Slam titles together.
They also won gold at Tokyo 2020 and are defending doubles champions at the WTA Finals.
The Czech pair have won all four of their matches in this year’s competition and are yet to drop a set.
They will face fourth seeds Kudermetova and Mertens on Monday night for the chance to cap off an incredible year.
During the season, the duo lost only three matches and won all three major tournaments they participated in, namely Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open.
After reaching this year’s final in Fort Worth, Siniakova secured the top spot in the year-end doubles standings for a second straight season.
Krejcikova also played in the singles competition last year but failed to qualify this time around after battling injuries.
