H2H History

Pavlyuchenkova has won 2 of the 3 meetings against Muchova, however, it was Muchova who won the most recent meeting in 2021 Wimbledon. Pavlyuchenkova won her matches in 2019 Moscow and 2021 Madrid. Two of the 3 matches were decided in straight sets.

Randy’s Pick

I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if looking at Pavlyuchenkova and the plus money, as she’s finding ways to win despite not playing great. Pavlyuchenkova is a fighter who is just finding ways to grind out matches. Still, Muchova has been sharper in this tournament and she’s played the more consistent tennis this year overall. The price is anything crazy…

Give me Muchova to make her second career grand slam semifinal.
