Swiatek is just one step away from winning her third Roland Garros title. The Polish tennis player didn’t drop a single set on her way to the final. In her three matches against Buxa, Claire Liu, and Xinyu Wang, she even won sets to love. Swiatek faced her toughest challenge in the semifinal battle against Mayar Sherif (6-4, 7-6). The Brazilian player, despite fatigue, put up a fight and came close to winning a set. In that match, Swiatek committed four double faults, lost her serve twice, and saved a set point in the tiebreak of the second set.
Finally, Muchova showcased her full potential. The Czech tennis player is considered one of the most talented players in her age group but has often been hindered by injuries and lacked consistency. This time everything fell into place perfectly. Muchova made a serious statement in the first round by defeating Sakkari (7-6, 7-5). She went on to secure victories against Podoroska, Begu, Avanesyan, and Pavlyuchenkova. In the semifinals, Muchova broke the resistance of Sabalenka in a grueling match that lasted 3 hours and 17 minutes (7-6, 6-7, 7-5). During the match against the world’s second-ranked player, the Czech player hit six aces, didn’t commit a single double fault, and lost her serve only four times. Additionally, Muchova converted all five of her break points. Want more up-to-date expert tennis predictions and stay informed?
