ORIGINAL NEWS FROM PARIS – He manages the obligations in the beginning. Karolína Muchová took advantage of the lottery for Roland Garros when she missed a chance to French wild card Carole Monnetová of the WTA third hundredth. The duel of two players with similar first names took place on full page number 7, where there was often encouragement for the host Carole. But his action against the Czech favorites was not enough for more than six games.
“I was wondering if he supported me or him,” Karolína Muchová commented on the fan chants. “But no, I hope the crowd pushes her. After all, she is a wild card girl and home player. I think they helped her. But I don’t pay much attention to her anymore, it doesn’t bother me either,” he commented after winning 6:3 twice and advancing to the second round.
The twenty-five year old Muchová thus overcame the trap of the first match for the third time in his fourth participation in the Roland Garros main competition. “I’m happy to be able to win in two sets. It was a tough match, he fought for every ball. Every first round was dangerous, so I’m glad I did it,” the world number 79th reported at the moment.
The downgrade was due to Muchová’s long rest due to health problems, especially the abdominal muscles. He didn’t start the season until the end of March at the Miami Open. “I’m still rehabilitating, I’m working my back and abs every day to stay in shape and prevent further injury. I’m still getting into my physical form,” said the former nineteen.
“I had some moves there where I didn’t feel 100%, but I felt lacking in every game. And for example my stomach does not limit me at all, I serve one hundred percent, “said Muchová, who last year had to save for health problems in Paris due to health problems.
Fitness coach Marián Voda, who has extensive experience working in hockey circles, also contributes to keeping him in top physical shape. “Marián is here with me and helps me a lot,” says new team member Muchová.
Listening to music is also in the right mood, which is (not only) a favorite activity of tennis players. However, the 25-year-old Czech also approaches this activity in an original way – with its help he tries to adjust to the French environment.
“The day before yesterday, I was at the distribution of goods at Adidas, where they have a French playlist in the QR code, so I listened to French. I don’t understand a word, but okay,” added Muchova with a smile.
