Everything is awesome, that is, if you’re Barbora Krejcikova right now.

The former world No. 2 blasted her way into a second Grand Slam final at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships and got to open up about one of her favorite hobbies in the wake of a three-set comeback over No. 4 seed Elena Rybakina.

Krejcikova first dropped hints about her love of LEGOs during a comprehensive Twitter/X AMA on Wednesday ahead of the semifinals:

Fans got the chance to learn even more about the 2021 Roland Garros champion in her post-match press conference:

Q. You did a fan Q&A on Twitter the other day. You said during rain delays, you build LEGO and sleep. What LEGO sets are you working on at the moment?
BARBORA KREJCIKOVA: I have many of them actually. Yeah, I even received some from my team yesterday, last night (smiling). I mean, I like to do a lot of the architecture. I did that one. I think I did some, like, Milky Way couple weeks ago. I'm a fan of Harry Potter, so I did a couple of Harry Potter. I did the Dobby one.

Q. Are you hoping for a Centre Court LEGO set at some point?
BARBORA KREJCIKOVA: Is there one?

Q. Maybe.
BARBORA KREJCIKOVA: If there's one for me, I'll do it (laughter).

Krejcikova has been in a stellar mood for the entire fortnight, endearing the tennis world on the court with her pure ball-striking and off the court with her disarming candor.

On the precipice of a second major victory, might the LEGO company come through with a Venus Rosewater Dish in her honor?
