With Iga Swiatek, Muchova will meet the defending champion and world number one in the final. However, it was Swiatek who lost the previous, and only, meeting at WTA level. In Prague, Muchova won four years ago in three sets: 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.
“I don’t think I’ll be the favourite,” said Muchova. “But it shows that I can play against the best in the world and fight for the win. It feels great and ensures that I enter the track with great confidence.”
The final between Swiatek and Muchová starts on Saturday around 3pm at Stade Philippe-Chatrier. For Swatic, this is the second consecutive final in Paris. Last year she beat Coco Gauff in straight sets.
