Krejcikova took to social media on Wednesday to show off the colorful collection created from the colorful bricks—including a stunning replica of the ladies singles trophy, the Venus Rosewater Dish.
“Another replica of the Wimbledon trophy, my own figurine and a racquet. Now I feel really special!” she gushed on social media. “Thank you very much for a beautiful meeting and gifts!”
With a tennis racquet, action-ready figurine and an iconic trophy, all that’s missing from Krejcikova’s collection now is a venue to play in—like Centre Court.

The Czech champion has been rallying fans this week to sign a petition on LEGO’s Idea Lab that would see the toy company recreate the sport’s most iconic court.
"I would really, really love to build this," Krejcikova shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "Will you help me by voting for it?"
While the idea includes concept art that features a tiny tennis net and even the court’s signature white roof, so far the petition has only amassed 2,000 of the 10,000 signatures that would be required to commission it.
Krejcikova revealed her love for LEGO during a wide-ranging Q&A session on X, where she named the building blocks to be her favorite Wimbledon rain delay activity after sleeping.
She’s also the latest WTA player to get a shoutout from the Danish brand, who has previously snapped up the likes of world No. 1 Iga Swiatek and Leylah Fernandez as brand ambassadors.
