Iga Świątek can advance on Tuesday evening to the quarter -finals of Indian Wells. The Polish woman began the struggle from the second round, where she first beat 6: 2, 6: 0 French Caroline Garcia, and then 6: 0, 6: 2 Ukrainian Dajana Jastremska. Now Iga's task will be much more difficult, because her next rival is Czech Karolina Muchova – I feel at home here. This is a place where you can enjoy the game of tennis – said Świątek after the match with Jastrem.
In the previous round, Muchov defeated Katerina Siniakova 7: 5, 6: 1. At the very end of the match, a doctor appeared on the court who checked Muchova's pressure. – My heart pounded terribly from the second set when I got up from the bench. They let me play, but preferred to control them. I fought myself with myself, so I didn't even enjoy the game – Muchova said in an interview with Canal+ Sport.
Muchova will play from Świątek for the fifth time in his career. Until now, she defeated Polish only once. It happened in April 2019 in the first round of the tournament in Prague (4: 6, 6: 1, 6: 4). Later, Świątek defeated Muchov in the final of Roland Garros (6: 2, 5: 7, 6: 4), in the third round in Montreal (6: 1, 4: 6, 6: 4) and in the United Cup tournament (6: 3, 6: 4).
Muchova won the prize from WTA. A great tweener in Dubai
A few hours before the match of Świątek – Muchova, interesting news appeared published by the official WTA profile. It turns out that the Czech Republic won the award for “hitting the month”. This took place in the semi -final of the tournament in Dubai, where Muchova played with Dunka Clara Tauson.
The aforementioned hit took place with a result of 4: 6, 7: 6, 2: 2, 40: from the perspective of Muchova. Karolina reacted well to the rivals and played the ball on her side of the court. Tauson played the ball over Muchova, and then the Czech flashed on the court. Muchova played the ball, hitting her with a rocket between her legs, being turned back to the opponent. In a tennis dictionary, this impact is determined by the so -called tweener.
