In the fourth round of the US Open hard-court championship, Karolina Muchova from the Czech Republic and Xinyu Wang from China will compete. Our bet is a win for Muchova with a -4 game handicap.

Karolina Muchova

27-year-old Karolina, currently ranking 10th in the world, has already clinched three victories at the US Open. Within the tournament, she defeated Sanders 6:4, 6:0, Ferro 6:3, 6:3 and Townsend 7:6 (7:0), 6:3. Previously, at the Cincinnati Open, Muchova reached the final and defeated Haddad Maia 6:7 (3:7), 6:1, 6:4, Martic 6:3, 3:6, 6:3, Sakkari 6:3, 2:6, 6:3, Bouzkova and Sabalenka 6:7 (4:7), 6:3, 6:2, but then lost to Gauff 3:6, 4:6.

In Montreal, Karolina also showcased her strength, defeating Potapova 7:6 (7:4), 6:2 and Kerber 7:5, 6:4, but later she faced defeat against Swiatek 1:6, 6:4, 4:6. At the Warsaw Open, she mastered Sasnovich 4:6, 7:6 (7:0), 6:3, but then succumbed to Sramkova 5:7, 6:3, 5:7, and at Wimbledon, Muchova started with a loss from Niemeier 4:6, 7:5, 1:6. In June, at the French Open, Karolina demonstrated a spectacular game and reached the final. On her way to the final, she defeated Sakkari 7:6 (7:5), 7:5, Podoroska 6:3, 0:6, 6:3, Irina-Camelia Begu 6:3, 6:2, Avanesyan 6:4, 6:3, Pavlyuchenkova 7:5, 6:2 and Sabalenka 7:6 (7:5), 6:7 (5:7), 7:5, but in the final she lost to Swiatek 2:6, 7:5, 4:6. In her six victorious matches in the tournament, she had to give up only two sets, which is quite an impressive result.

Earlier, at the Rome Open, Karolina also demonstrated a high level of play, beating Rahimova, Trevisan and Giorgi, but she lost in the ultimate game to Badosa. At the beginning of the season, Muchova also showed some excellent games, reaching the quarterfinals at both the Indian Wells and Dubai championships, which were held on hard courts.

Xinyu Wang

21-year-old Wang, ranking 53rd in the world, has achieved three victories at the US Open. Within the tournament, she defeated Volynets 6:3, 6:4, Sorribes Tormo 5:7, 6:3, 6:4 and Schmiedlova 4:6, 6:3, 6:2. Earlier in Cleveland, Xinyu made it to the quarterfinals and won against Burel 7:6 (7:5), 4:6, 7:5 and Paolini 6:4, 6:3, but then lost to Alexandrova 7:5, 0:6, 5:7. Before this, she successfully passed the qualification for the tournament, beating Shibahara 6:2, 6:3 and Lepchenko 7:5, 6:4.

In mid-August, Xinyu Wang was crowned champion at the Landisville tournament, where she defeated Starodubtseva 6:4, 4:6, 6:4, Kessler 6:4, 6:4, Andreescu 6:1, 6:7 (2:7), 6:2, Jones 7:5, 6:7 (6:8), 6:0 and Brengle 6:2, 6:3. Previously, Wang experienced defeats and lost three out of four matches. She lost to Wang in the Czech Republic, defeated Sanders at Wimbledon, but then lost to Kenin. At the end of June at the Berlin tournament, Xinyu ended the first round match against Forli at 6:3, 5:7, but earlier passed the qualification and defeated Preston and Vandeweghe.

At the French Open, Wang reached the third round, where she beat Bouzkova and Peterson, but then lost to Swiatek. Prior to that, she faced obstacles and lost six out of seven matches, being eliminated in the initial rounds of championships in Strasbourg, Rome, Reus and Madrid. In early February, Xinyu Wang displayed good play and reached the semi-final at the hard court tournament in Hua Hin.

Head-to-head

Previously, the two athletes have not played against each other.

Match prediction

Muchova is exhibiting more stable performance and is in good form. Considering she has won all her matches in two sets and Wang has been considerably worn down, my bet is a victory for Karolina.
