Karolina Muchova vs Katie Boulter prediction
Karolina Muchova was tested by Camila Osorio but battled her way through in Miami. The Czech dropped the first set but dominated the second and looked on course for victory as she broke in the middle of the decider. However, Osorio struck back when Muchova was serving for the match at 5-4. Nevertheless, Muchova would break again and serve it out at the second attempt to win 4-6 6-2 7-5. She picked up her first WTA 1000 title in Doha last month.
Muchova now faces Katie Boulter. The former British number one advanced after her opponent Clara Tauson retired at the start of the third set. The start of the match was affected by rain delays, but Boulter would end up falling behind after losing a tiebreak, despite going a break up on two occasions. She hit back in the second and Tauson decided to call it quits as Boulter was leading 6-7 (4) 6-4 1-0.
Muchova is the favourite to make it through, but Boulter will take plenty of encouragement from how she has performed so far this season, and she should be able to pose a few questions.
