US Open | Fantasy tennis! In a pinch, Muchová cut the hit of the year – Sport.cz

Last year’s semi-finalist found herself under pressure at 4:1 and 15:40, but did not allow her American opponent Katie Volynets to finish the sixth game yet. The 28-year-old Czech picked her smash in a spectacular way in a jump behind her and turned it into a lob that fell into the court. The local tennis player was still playing the ball, but then Muchová showed her how to break it properly. The beauty is awesome. And also confirmed by winning 6:3, 7:5.

Since last year’s US Open, where she broke into the top four, Muchová has only been able to play eleven matches (7-4) due to a wrist injury, and as a result deducted points, she is in danger of falling deep into the second hundred of the world rankings. He is now ranked 52. However, it is clear that last year’s Roland Garros finalist has not lost much of her technical sophistication. And she can prove it in the second round, when she plays two-time New York champion Naomi Osaka.

“Karólína is one of the best technical players in the world. Her excellent volleys and excellent second serve stand out. However, it is not always easy for her to choose the right one with the huge series of strokes,” explained Sport.cz tennis expert Jan Kukal in just one of his comments.

This time, however, Muchová chose perfectly. Something like this can only be seen once a year in Hungary on the WTA tour.
