Karolina Pliskova is seeded 6th at this year’s Australian Open, and is perhaps one of the few players who have had the indignity of being world no.1 not having won a Grand Slam. This time she has another chance to rectify that statistic, but first she must conquer Karolína Muchová. Muchová is currently on her best run ever at the Australian Open and will try and look to extend it further.
