Karolina Muchova at her best can trouble anyone and her previous matches with Iga Swiatek are a testament to that. All the three matches these two have played have gone to a deciding set and another close match can be expected on Wednesday. Both the players easily defeated their opponents in the previous match. Muchova’s creativity and versatility can hurt Swiatek if she is not dialed in. The result of the men’s match could also affect the outcome of this match. I am going for the safer option.
Head-to-Head: Hurkacz 1-0 Machac
Hubert Hurkacz has been struggling for form since the Cincinnati Masters and has lost four of his last five matches. Hurkacz lost in straight sets against Casper Ruud in his first match here and will look to get his first win under the new coach. Tomas Machac also fell victim to Casper Ruud, but he played a much better match and would be confident of his chances against Hurkacz. These two have only played once but I expect a different result this time.
