Karolina Muchova, recent finalist at Roland-Garros, qualified for the first time in the semi-finals of the US Open by dismissing Sorana Cirstea (30th in the world). The Romanian, who had eliminated Elena Rybakina, will long wonder how she might lose 6-0 a 44-minute set where she scored twenty-three points and wasted nine (!) break points in the fourth game. But Muchova, unplayable or almost, had all the tools in his game to meet the proposed challenges. “Set yourself up in the court! Throws high balls on his backhand in return, ”coach Thomas Johansson tries to revive Cirstea at the break between following the first set. The 33-year-old Romanian then scored her first game at the start of the second set, then escaped by breaking her opponent. But Muchova does not panic, and shows the extent of her panoply to finish strong, skilful at the net and efficient in the service. She will face Coco Gauff in the semi-finals.
