H2H History

Sabalenka won the only match against Muchova, which was 2019 Zhuhai. The match was decided in straight sets and 25 games.

Randy’s Pick

Muchova is playing some fine tennis this tournament and will have a punchers chance if she can continue to serve well. However, as I’ve said time and time again this year, Sabalenka is playing the best tennis of her life and is arguably the hottest player on the women’s side. I’m just not eager to step in front of Sabalenka and her current form.

Give me Sabalenka, and I’ll take her in straight sets to shave the juice.
