Clara Tauson v Karolina Muchova Head to Head
They have never played before.
Tauson Ends Noskova’s Run
Linda Noskova had defeated Yulia Putintseva, Diana Shnaider and Jessica Pegula to make the quarterfinals and would have given herself a good chance to get past Clara Tauson.
Tauson herself was coming off a stunning win, the upset of the tournament, when she downed Aryna Sabalenka in the third round. That she had managed to rout Sabalenka 6-3, 6-2 would have given her a lot of confidence.
And that showed when Tauson took to court to face Noskova, as an hour and 45 minutes later, she had sent her opponent out.
A break down after the very first game of the match, Tauson levelled things out only to get broken again. Noskova missed three set-points on Tauson’s serve and then missed serving it out before edging past Tauson in the tie-breaker.
The second set was a tad more straightforward with Tauson getting herself a break in the seventh game and serving it out soon after.

Muchova Overcomes Cirstea
Sorana Cirstea had defeated three players to make it to the quarterfinals and in every single match she had been the second favourite. Karolina Muchova ended her run after living up to her 3/10 odds and defeating Cirstea in straight sets to make the semifinals.
Having overcome Emma Raducanu in the second round and edged out McCartney Kessler in the third, Muchova needed an hour and 33 minutes to get past her Romanian opponent to enter the last four stage.
Muchova dropped her serve on three occasions, two of which came in the second set – both leading to Cirstea taking the lead – but each time she came back and broke her opponent.
She then held to love to make it 6-5 before breaking Cirstea the fifth time to grab the win.
The Czech player enters this semifinal having made it that far at the China Open last year – which was also the last time she featured in a WTA 1000 competition.
Can she now make the final?
Tauson v Muchova Prediction
While Tauson enters the match on the back of some excellent form, Muchova is an experienced pro when at getting deep into such competitions when she is fully fit. That experience will count for something here and while she could get stretched, we are looking at Muchova for a win.
