Muchova, in her first Grand Slam final, struggled to find ways to stop the Pole by equalizing despite losing 3-0 in the second set, but fatigue and inexperience got the better of her. However, after the semi-final of the 2021 Australian Open and today’s final, he has proven that he belongs to the elite of world tennis.

The first set turned into a Sviontek monologue, but the second set was a big battle and the Czech Republic was celebrating. Although the 22-year-old top tennis player in the world again started from the break and led 3:0, Mukhova “answered” with three winning games and equalized the score (3:3).

Sviontek took her serve to a 4-3 lead, but Muchova did the same, albeit harder (4-4). With a double fault on her serve in game 9, Sviontek gave the Czech Republic a second break to take a 5-4 lead.

And while the Czech Republic equalized, the first racket of the world proved his class. She “broke” the opponent’s serve and remained in the game (5-5). Muchova, however, not only did not give up, but also found a new break (3rd in the set), again approaching 1-1. And this time he did not miss the opportunity and equalized in the final with a score of 7-5.

The decisive set began with the dominance of Muchova, and in two games in a row she led with a score of 2:0. Sviontek’s “answer” came immediately. Poland took three games in a row and took a 3-2 lead again, but the Czech Republic held onto their serve and returned to perfect balance (3-3) in the final.

With amazing maturity in her game, the 26-year-old broke Swiontek’s serve again and took a 4-3 lead again, but the break…at half-time continued and the best tennis player in the world did it. 4-4.

And while Mukhova was close to a new break, Sviontek eventually remained “standing” and led 5-4, and with a decisive break in the 10th game, he reached 6-4 and she burst into tears after such pressure.
