Latest Karolina Muchova vs Jasmine Paolini match review
Muchova's wrist injury forced her to withdraw from last year's WTA Finals, and subsequent surgery has kept the 2023 US Open semi-finalist out of this year's opening two Grand Slams.
She returned to Tour ahead of Wimbledon only to be eliminated in the first round, raising doubts about her ability ahead of the final Grand Slam of 2024.
However, the former world No. 8 has shone on her way to a quarter-final place in New York, highlighted by an impressive second-round win over two-time US Open champion Naomi Osaka.
The 28-year-old's versatility makes her unpredictable and will be a huge advantage when she faces the No. 5 seed in Monday's fourth-round match.
Although ranked 52nd in the world, Muchova is no stranger to this level, having overcome back-to-back first-round exits to reach the semi-finals last year; however, she must step up her game to cope with Paolini's powerful strokes.
Karolina Muchova vs Jasmine Paolini score prediction
While Paolini's fighting spirit and an impressive year on Tour give her the best chance of breaking Muchova's losing streak, we believe the Czech's versatility will help her overcome her higher-ranked opponent.
