World No. 27 Karolina Muchova will kickstart her Melbourne campaign on Monday, when she faces unseeded American Catherine McNally in the Round of 32 after being given a first round bye.
The 2019 Wimbledon quarterfinalist, also featured in Abu Dhabi earlier this year, where she won her first round match against Montenegro’s Danka Kovinic in straight sets but pulled out of the tournament later due to illness.

On Sunday, Muchova began her doubles campaign in Melbourne, making a winning start with partner Marketa Vandrousova, as the pair picked a straight sets win over Lizette Cabrera and Maddison Inglis in the Round of 32.
Muchova, who picked her only WTA singles title at the Korean Open in 2019, will be hoping to stay fit over the next few weeks as she eyes bigger gains in Melbourne.
