Anastasia Zakharova vs Karolina Muchova prediction

Karolina Muchova will be eyeing another big French Open in 2026.

The Czech was a finalist back in 2023 and has been putting together some strong results this year, including a title in Doha and a runner-up finish on the clay in Strasbourg. 

The world number ten will kick off against Anastasia Zakharova who has already posted a career-best seven main draw victories this season.

That said, the Russian has made very little impression on the dirt and given Muchova’s pedigree on the surface, we don’t see there being too much for the seed to worry about here.
