Michaëlla Krajicek (Czech: Michaela Krajíčková; born 9 January 1989) is a Dutch professional tennis player.
Krajicek has won three singles and six doubles titles on the WTA tour, as well as twelve singles and fifteen doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 11 February 2008, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 30. On 23 March 2015, she peaked at world number 23 in the doubles rankings. She is the half-sister of former professional tennis player Richard Krajicek.
Michaëlla Krajicek was born on 9 January 1989 in Delft, the Netherlands. She is the younger half-sister of former world nr. 4 and Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek, and she is therefore nicknamed Kleine Kraai, which means "little crow" in Dutch ("kraai" is a Dutch heterograph of the Czech origin surname "Krajicek" and has long been Richard's nickname).
An article in a Dutch newspaper with statements from the Fed Cup captain Manon Bollegraf caused Michaëlla Krajicek to stop participating for the Dutch team. Bollegraf commented on Krajicek's relationship with her coach Allistair McCaw. In April 2010 Krajicek confirmed she was in a relationship with McCaw. McCaw started as her fitness coach in 2007. In 2011 she returned in the Fed Cup team after resolving her differences with Bollegraf.
She lives in Prague, Czech Republic, her parents' native homeland.
In September 2013 she started dating German doubles player Martin Emmrich. They met at the combined ATP/WTA event in Rosmalen that year. One year later in 2014 at the same tournament in Rosmalen, the two got engaged on June 16 after Emmrich proposed to Krajicek on centre court after her first round win against Jana Čepelová, and got married in July 2015.
In 2002 the 13-year-old Krajicek was included in the Dutch team for the Cesky Telecom World Junior Tennis final. She was the No. 1 ranked junior player in Europe at the time. Krajicek led her country to victory over Poland in the final winning both her singles and doubles matches en route to a 3–0 win for The Netherlands.
