Jennifer Brady vs Karolina Muchova Prediction

The Melbourne fast courts have been very suitable for Jennifer Brady’s powerful groundstrokes. The American likes to control the rallies and finds a balance between risk and patience too.

Karolina Muchova’s game also has a quiet attacking approach but she has more variety to her game than her American opponent, often changing the pace of the rallies to disturb the opponent’s rhythm,

Muchova definitely had the tougher path to the semis as she beat the world number one and number six. We predict this match to go to the wire in three sets.
