Karolína Muchová vs Aryna Sabalenka: French Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Karolina Muchova continued her remarkable Roland-Garros debut with a 7-5, 6-2 victory over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the unseeded quarterfinals. This marks her second career Grand Slam semifinal, the previous one achieved at the 2021 Australian Open. After a slow year in 2022 due to injury, Muchova has regained her form, reaching notable stages in tournaments like Dubai, Indian Wells, Miami, and Rome. Her success in this tournament is expected to propel her into the top 50 rankings, with a chance to break into the top 30. Notable victories over Maria Sakkari, Nadia Podoroska, and Irina-Camelia Begu have showcased her prowess. While Muchova has not reached a final above the WTA 250 level, she aims to change that narrative after falling short in three close semifinal encounters, including a three-set match against Jennifer Brady in Melbourne in 2021.

Aryna Sabalenka faced resistance from Elina Svitolina in the Roland-Garros quarterfinals but emerged victorious with a 6-4, 6-4 win. This is her best performance in the tournament’s second week, having been eliminated in the third round in the past three years. Sabalenka has yet to drop a set in the competition and her toughest challenge came from Sloane Stephens, whom she defeated 7-6, 6-4. In 2023, she has already surpassed last year’s win count with three titles to her name. Previously struggling in Grand Slam semifinals, Sabalenka secured her maiden major title in Melbourne earlier this year and now holds a 5-0 record in semifinals this season. Starting the year with a 12-0 showing in Grand Slam matches, she is on the brink of becoming the new world No. 1 player.
