Karolina Muchova makes serve and volley look too easy. Gliding into the net like it’s as natural as breathing to her. She brings effortless tennis to the court every single time. Too talented. Too good.
MATCH REPORT | 2024 US Open: Marvellous Muchova continues into fourth round with prolific Potapova win
WTASaturday, 31 August 2024 at 18:23
Karolina Muchova is into the Last 16 of the 2024 US Open and made it look so effortless again in taking down Anastasia Potapova 6-4, 6-2.
Muchova who is defending semi-final points to avoid a huge ranking plummet will now face the finalist in the last two majors likely in Jasmine Paolini, the Italian flagbearer who continues to dazzle.
The Italian is currently a set and a break up on Yulia Putintseva and could set up a showdown with the Czech ace in what would be a battle of Muchova's epic serve and volley game.
Effortless tennis was on display again against Paolini's quick and zippy style with her match against Putintseva on paper dubbed a cup of coffee by some due to their livewire tendencies. But Muchova on one hand has not dropped a set all week and looks the best she has since her comeback to the sport.
After heartbreak over the last year which has seen the Roland Garros finalist go from being one of the world's best to having surgery soon after reaching the US Open semi-finals, it was a rocky road. But she has proven this week thus far that when she is on, she is still one of the world's best.
With Iga Swiatek on her side and likely being a latter stage meeting, the vulnerabilities of the Pole could be thwarted on a different surface to the clay that the World No.1 masters.
If Muchova gets that far at any rate but she proved today that she has the tools to certainly head towards defending those points. 13 winners proved that point to only six unforced errors.
For those fans of Muchova, a true delight to behold as she seals another win and heads towards a showdown with Paolini. What a match that could be.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period.
