A Czech Republic
B Serbia
C Croatia
D Spain

Correct answer: (a) Czech Republic

Explanation

  1. A

    Czech Republic

    Czech Republic is the official key. Barbora Krejcikova, winner of the women’s singles title at the French Open Tennis Tournament, 2021, is a Czech player. She won Roland Garros in Paris that year. The country match is (a).

  2. B

    Serbia

    Serbia is associated with other tennis champions such as Novak Djokovic, not with Krejcikova. This option is not the key.

  3. C

    Croatia

    Croatia is not Krejcikova’s country. This option is therefore wrong.

  4. D

    Spain

    Spain is associated with many clay-court champions, not with this 2021 women’s singles winner. This option is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (a) Czech Republic. Barbora Krejcikova won the 2021 French Open women’s singles as a Czech player. Serbia, Croatia and Spain are familiar tennis nations used as distractors. Roland Garros is played in Paris on clay. Only (a) is correct.
