In the Semi-finals, the 26-year-old beat Sabalenka easily in the second and third sets after losing the first. “I don’t think we even ever practiced together,” Muchova said, talking about her first clash on-court with Coco. “I know she is a great mover.

Karolina Muchova has displayed his skills quite a lot recently. The 26-year-old has been scaling up the WTA Rankings and is likely to be amongst the Top 10. The Czech is well-prepared to face Gauff in the upcoming Finals.
As for Coco, there is a good probability that she might win the title. Though both of the players have the potential to win the Cincinnati Open title, Coco stands a better chance at it.
