"She's very athletic, she never gives up": Muchova gives honest assessment of Gauff ahead of US Open semi-final clash

Czech Republic’s tennis star Karolina Muchova has spoken highly of her US Open 2023 semifinal opponent America’s Coco Gauff.

The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is moving towards its conclusion as only eight remaining players are battling it out to secure the ultimate glory.

Muchova is set to face Gauff in a mouthwatering last-four contest on Thursday in New York.

The 27-year-old spoke highly of her opponent ahead of the match and believes that the young tennis star is strong in all aspects.

“She’s very athletic,” she said. “She never gives up. Runs for every ball. Doesn’t do many mistakes. So she has kind of all the strokes. So very, very good player from all the aspects,"

Muchova defeated Romania’s Sorana Cirstea in the quarterfinal of the mega-event in straight sets with a score of 6-0, 6-3. It will be her first appearance in the semifinal at the Flashing Medows.

On the other hand, Gauff outclassed Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko in the last eight in straight sets with a score of 6-0, 6-2. It will be the first appearance for the Atalanta-born in the last four in New York.
