Muchova started her hard court season on a high Down Under, after reaching the semis of the Australian Open before losing to Jennifer Brady. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old hasn’t been consistent on the tour thereafter, and was also ousted in the opening round at Toronto last week by Oceane Dodin.

Belinda Bencic vs Karolina Muchova: Prediction

Both players will fancy their chances coming into this clash. That said, Muchova will have to be careful on her second serve. She could only win 40% of her points of her second serve in her last game. On the other hand, expect Bencic to remain solid from the baseline, as we have seen over the past few weeks. Considering form and momentum, the Swiss looks poised to move ahead.

Match Prediction: Belinda Bencic should win in three sets.
