Jaqueline Cristian vs Karolina Muchova prediction
Karolina Muchova will seek an Australian Open repeat against Jaqueline Cristian in Qatar.
The Czech posted a 6-3 7-6 win over the Romanian in Melbourne last month and boasts a 4-0 head-to-head record without dropping a set.
The 14th seed is regarded by her fellow pros as one of the best players on tour when fit and firing and she has posted some good results so far in 2026 with a 6-2 record.
Cristian is at a career high of 35 and did reach the last eight in Adelaide, but she suffered a chastening defeat to qualifier Daria Snigur last time out in Cluj-Napoca and this match-up with Karolina evidently does not suit her.
Jaqueline Cristian vs Karolina Muchova tip: Karolina Muchova to win 2-0
