Stephens vs Muchova: who will advance into the next round?

Before the start of Roland Garros Sloane Stephensplayed many matches on clay. She participated on three tournaments, in the last one, at Parma, she reached the semi-final. Preparation like that helped her to gain decent form for the Roland Garros tournament.

In the first round of Paris tournament American player had a very difficult match against an experienced Suarez Navarro (3:6, 7:6, 6:4). In the second round, as we predicted, she defeated an inconsistent Karolina Pliskova (7:5, 6:1). This matches proved that a runner-up of 2018 Roland Garros shouldn't be underestimated.

Karolina Muchova already achieved her best result in Roland Garros for the last few years. In three years before the current one at Paris Czech player won only one match in the main draw.

In 2021 Karolina performed better and won two matches. Those fixtures went by different scenarios. Muchova pulled off a comeback on Andrea Petkovic in the first round (1:6, 6:3, 6:4). On the other hand, Czech representative managed to defeat Varvara Lepchenko quite easily (6:3, 6:4).
