Twenty-five-year-old Muchová won a duel played under a cloudy roof in two and a half hours. Immediately, the 67th player in the world turned her first match ball into a shorts and a subsequent volley, which her opponent was not able to reach by five places.

Olomouc native Muchová returned to the WTA Tour at the end of March after a seven-month break, during which she treated injured abdominal muscles. She won two matches in Miami, but did not make it to the third against Japanese Naomi Osaka.
