Garbine Muguruza v Linda Fruhvirtova Head to Head
28-year-old Muguruza has not played Fruhvirtova before this – a player who is 11 years her junior.

Muguruza Passes Tough Tauson Test
Among the most dangerous openers that seeded players faced at this year’s US Open, Muguruza’s match against Tauson certainly fit that narrative.
The young Dane is widely regarded as a future star in the women’s game having blossomed in spectacular style in the past year. And Tauson did her reputation little harm when she shocked Anett Kontaveit at this year’s Australian Open.
And with the odds at evens, it appeared the bookies were fully aware of Tauson’s potential. Muguruza was in dire form throughout 2022, winning just nine matches all year. And she is probably inside the top 10 by default.
But the Spaniard is a multiple Grand Slam winner for a reason and showcased her vast experience at crucial moments to come away with a straight sets win.
Tauson learned a painful lesson here as she spurned her chances in the second set where she had three set points at 5-4, and she failed to close it out at the second attempt in the tiebreak when she led 4-1.

Fruhvirtova Delivers Nerveless Performance
Making your Grand Slam main draw debut is certainly an occasion that can send shivers down the spine. But in the case of Linda Fruhvirtova, she demonstrated a veteran’s mindset and played fearless tennis.
Fruhvirotva came away victorious in her opening round, defeating China’s Xinyu Wang 6-3 6-4. The young Czech has been dominant in her march to the main draw. She spent little time in qualifying, dropping just one set in three matches.
And on Tuesday afternoon on Court 9, she was visibly pumped at every point, combining her deadly and consistent groundstrokes with resilient defense. She hit just 11 winners (a figure which will need to improve considerably to have the slightest chance of an upset against Mugurza), but kept her unforced error count at 15.
Muguruza v Fruhvirotova Prediction and Tip
At Grand Slam level experience is vital and Muguruza couldn’t have called for the perfect tonic to her disastrous season. She can still salvage something and I reckon she will be head and shoulders above the young Czech here.
Tip: Muguruza to win in straight sets: 13/10 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
