Czech me out: Muchova top 10 debut means Czech Republic will have four players in WTA top 12, more than any other country

Karolina Muchova’s recent victory put the Czech ace in a
special position in the WTA rankings as of next week.
The 26-year-old defeated the world number two Belarus’ Aryna
Sabalenka in the semifinal of the Cincinnati Open (Western & Southern Open)
with a score of 6-7, 6-3, 6-2.
With the win, the Czech Republic now has four players in the
WTA rankings, more than any other country.
The result was an impressive one on so many accounts for
Muchova who would be also looking to further improve her performances ahead of
the upcoming US Open.
The Olomouc-born player has already played in the final of the
Grand Slam earlier this year when she lost to the world number one Iga Swiatek
in the French Open with a score of 6–2, 5–7, 6–4. It was her best performance
to date in any of the major events.
Despite that, Muchova’s record while playing in New York has
been a pretty average one as she has never played in the quarterfinal or
beyond.
Her best outing at the Flashing Medows was playing in the
fourth round back in 2020 where she lost to the former world number one Belarus’
Victoria Azarenka with a score of 5-7, 6-1, 6-4.
