Muchová won a long introductory game by serving her opponent and ended the match with an aggressive and traditionally variable game after 59 minutes of play. “It was important to catch the beginning and then keep playing and not stopping,” she told Czech television.
Russian tennis player Veronika Kuděrmětovová will compete in the tournament duo Karolína Plíšková in the second round of the J&T Banka Ostrava Open 2020 indoor tournament. Karolína Plíšková had a free draw in the first round in Ostrava and Kuděrmětovová defeated the Croatian Donna Vekičová 6: 2 and 6: 4 after qualifying.
