Marketa Vondrousova vs Karolina Muchova prediction

Marketa Vondrousova has competed in just one event since a strong showing at the US Open, as she got through to the quarter-finals in New York but had to withdraw from her match with world number one Aryna Sabalenka before it took place. That knee injury kept her out of action for over a month, and her return in Ningbo was short-lived as she lost in the first-round.

Karolina Muchova also competed at the event and made the second-round. She has still picked up wins in the Asian swing, as she made the round-of-16 in Beijing but she was forced to retire from second-round match in Wuhan.

Muchova leads the WTA Tour head-to-head 2-1 and 2-0 on hard courts, while she has won their two most recent meetings. One of those matches took place just a few days ago as Muchova beat Vondrousova 6-4 6-3 in the first-round of the Ningbo Open. The former Wimbledon champion is still short of match fitness after her injury and Muchova is well placed to register another win here.
