Karolina Muchova vs Alexandra Eala prediction
Karolina Muchova beat Katie Boulter in straight sets as she reached the round-of-16 in Miami. She was broken just once as she sealed a 6-3 7-5 win. Muchova picked up her first WTA 1000 title in Doha last month and has won 16 out of 19 matches in 2026.
She faces Alexandra Eala next after the Filipino got past Magda Linette in the previous round. Linette had pulled off one of the shocks of the tournament by defeating world number three Iga Swiatek, but she was unable to pick up another win as Eala claimed a 6-3 7-6 (2) win after one hour and 48 minutes.
Eala has points to defend after making the semi-finals of this event last year, and she has shown strong tactical variety in the opening two rounds of this tournament. However, Muchova is very consistent on this surface with her all-court game and will prove to be her biggest challenge so far.
