Karolina Muchova has been going through a good phase lately and will be hoping to make a change in fortune at the ongoing Indian Wells Masters after having made it this far already. She won the ASB Classic by shocking everyone way back in January beating the likes of Masarova, Kovinic, Zhu, Kenin, and Marin but since then she has struggled to maintain form. At the Australian Open, she made it to the fourth round losing to Ostapenko and at the Qatar Open, she got knocked out in the quarter-finals by Kudermetova. And at the recent Dubai Tennis Championships, she made it to the semi-finals where she lost to Swiatek.

She beat Peterson in the last-round matchup by 6-3, 1-6, 6-4.

In her recent tournament at the Australian Open, she shocked the whole world by lifting the trophy beating players such as Rybakina, Linette, Vekic, Mertens, Bencic, and Rogers. At the Adelaide International 1 tournament, she also won the tournament in fine fashion by overcoming players such as Noskova, Begu, Vondrousova, and Samsonova on the way. And at the recent Dubai Tennis Championships, she made it to the quarter-finals where she lost to Krejcikova. In the ongoing Indian Wells, she beat Kenin in the first-round matchup by 7-6, 7-6, and in the round of 32 matchup, she beat Badosa by 6-3, 7-5.
