French Open
finalist Karolina Muchova appeared in a new photoshoot for Vogue magazine.
The World
No. 18 showcased a new facet, posing in a vintage photoshoot for Vogue CZ in
the Czech Republic. Muchova has been a sensation this season after reaching her
first Grand Slam final at the 2023 French Open, where she fell to the World No.
1, Iga Swiatek.
The
26-year-old tennis player defeated players like Maria Sakkari, Anastasia
Pavlyuchenkova, and Aryna Sabalenka on her way to the final, which ended in
defeat against Swiatek.
Vogue
published a photoshoot of Muchova, portraying iconic women from the past
through various vintage outfits and accessories from brands like Swarovski,
Dior, and YSL.
The photo
session was part of the promotion for the 'Tennis Garden by Radka Leitmeritz'
exhibition, currently showcased at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague,
celebrating the beauty and diversity of women's tennis in the context of a
larger project called 'Court Supremes'.
The photoshoot
were shared on the official WTA Instagram account:
In the interview,
Muchova discussed the progress of women's tennis and shared her experience of
playing in the French Open final:
“For a long
time, men's tennis was considered more attractive, but lately it seems to me
that women's tennis has become more fun, more unpredictable. And the stadiums
are already starting to fill up. For example, at the Roland Garros final, it
was an amazing experience when the atmosphere simply touches you,” Muchova said.
After the
success she achieved this year in clay-court tournaments (with 10 wins and
three losses), Muchova didn’t compete in grass-court tournaments before
participating in Wimbledon as the 16th seed, where she lost in the first round
to Jule Niemeier.
This week,
she returned to the path of victory in the first round of the Varsovia Open,
defeating Aliaksandra Sasnovich with scores of 4-6, 7-6, 6-3. However, she
surprisingly exited the tournament after losing to world No. 174 Rebecca
Sramkova in three sets.

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026
- Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA.
