Karolina Muchova v Magdalena Frech Head to Head
Their only previous meeting came at the Billie Jean King Cup of 2022 and Muchova had won that very easily.

Muchova Eases Past Hunter
It took Muchova some time to get going in her opener against Storm Hunter but once she got her rhythm, there was no looking back for the world number 10.
Muchova was on court for 66 minutes to clinch her victory and while she was broken twice in the encounter, she never fell behind the eight ball.
In the first set, the Cincinnati Open runner-up took a 2-0 lead before getting broken back and was then 4-3 up again before her opponent broke Muchova to level things out. That, however, was the last game that Muchova would lose in the match as she eased through the next eight games to clinch the win.
With this win, Muchova has now made it 24-8 on hardcourt surfaces this season and 34-12 overall including a French Open final appearance. She is now 1/10 (with bet365) to grab a place in the third round with a win over her 77th-ranked opponent.

Frech Stretched by Navarro
Things could have gone either way in the first set of Frech’s opening round encounter against Emma Navarro. It was some extremely gritty display from Frech that allowed her to come back from 2-6 down in that tie-breaker to win it 12-10 before clinching her place in the second round in three sets.
In all, Frech saved six set-points in the opening set before grabbing the lead and while she was broken thrice in the second set, the Polish player came back to break twice in the decider to grab the win.
This was Frech’s first win in the main draw of a tournament in eight tournaments since the last week of June. It was also French’s only hardc0urt victory since she made the third round of the Miami Open in March.
Having gone in as a 8/5 underdog in the match (with bet365), Frech’s maiden US Open win gives her a bit of a respite from her run of poor form. Things are about to get tougher, however, for Frech as she takes on a top-10 player in round two.
Muchova v Frech Prediction and Tip
Muchova should wrap this up in double quick time with a straight-set win for the Czevch player being the most likely result here.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Muchova to win in straight sets: 4/11 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 18.5 games in the match: 10/11 (with bet365)
