Hradecka, Lucie (CZE) - Krejcikova, Barbora

I will not be popular today. This season, Maria Sakkari improved her form by reducing the number of unforced errors. She can hold the ball perfectly at the back, plus such performances in this tournament, Paolini and Swiatek even lost the first set, despite losing four times in a row in H2H, she took the match and made an impact against the Greek player.
At first glance, Muchova seems to have a better and more powerful serve, good tactical choices, and works well mentally, but I don't think she will have an advantage in movement. Plus, she also has a long four-game losing streak against a Greek player.
It is noticed that in this tournament, the taller female tennis players dominate in terms of overs, plus Muchova often has health issues, with problems in her abdominal muscles, etc. Also, Muchova has only one WTA title at a high level, while Sakkari has two, which also shows that Muchova struggles more in the final stages of tournaments.
