Command Analysis
Karolina Muchova had a disappointing start at the series of American hard tournaments. In the previous week at Montreal Czech player suddenly lost the first round match to Dodin (3:6, 6:1, 2:6).
Karolina was also close a defeat at the start of Cincinnati tournament. She managed to turn around the match against Johanna Konta by some miracle (3:6, 7:6, 6:2). In the second round Czech player put up a more confident performance and beat Andreescu in straight sets (6:4, 6:2). Match against Bencic will be more difficult, because she is in a much better form than Muchova's previous opponents.
Belinda Bencic is on a peak of her form after the golden medal of the Olympic Games and she doesn't want to stop on that. Though we could expect a decline of Swiss player's performance. Usually after a successful tournament she couldn't retain the high level of her performance.

In the second match against Shelby Rogers Bencic needed some time to find her game, but she managed to step up and recorded a victory in straight sets (7:6, 6:1).
