Come April, it is the time to play pranks and troll each other. While the world celebrates April Fool’s Day today, the tennis world also joined in on the fun. Tennis stars across the globe have had their share of pranks to play. However, on this occasion, a fan played a prank on renowned WTA player, Barbora Krejcikova, following which the Czech Republican star cleared the air on the fan’s announcement.

Krejcikova has been playing on the WTA Tour since long. She has starred in both singles as well as doubles and has a massive fanbase worldwide. Let’s find out which prank was played on her.

Barbora Krejcikova comes up with a ‘Number One’ response to a joke

A few hours ago, one Krejcikova fan on social media made a bizarre announcement regarding the tennis star. She broke the news that Krejcikova was pregnant and even shared the announcement that the tennis star had made. The quote read, “I wanted to share the good news that me and Pavel are welcoming a baby into our family this year! I hope to see you on the court very soon and I am thankful for your support.”

However, as it turned out, it was a prank by a fan and Krejcikova immediately declined the claims of her pregnancy. She said, “Sorry to disappoint but I am still on baby number one.” AKA her sweet doggy! It was a witty response by the Czech Republican star, who combined humor with caution.
