Maya Joint vs Karolina Muchova prediction
Maya Joint mounted a spirited fightback against lucky loser Viktorija Golubic to advance to the next stage of the Pan Pacific Open. The 19-year-old looked down and out at 4-2 in the second after losing the first set, but she managed to break back and edge ahead in the tiebreak to draw level. Joint’s level improved again in the decider as she won 1-6 7-6 6-2.
Joint now plays Karolina Muchova in the round-of-16. Muchova defeated compatriot Marketa Vondrousova for the second time in a week, but this was a more short-lived encounter as the 2023 Wimbledon champion was forced to retire in the second set. Muchova was leading 6-2 1-0 when Vondrousova decided she could not continue.
Joint should be a test for Muchova but if the Australian plays like she did in the early parts of her first-round match, she will be in for a tough time. Muchova is very consistent on this surface and will be the favourite to win.
