Finally healthy, music lover Muchova eyes Wimbledon glory
PRAGUE: Karolina Muchova’s injury-plagued career was in danger of coming to a premature end just four years ago, but now the Wimbledon finalist is on the brink of a life-changing moment at the All England Club. Muchova will play in the first all-Czech Wimbledon final on Saturday against 21-year-old Linda Noskova. It will be the second Grand Slam final for Muchova, a music lover and the daughter of a former footballer, after her loss at the 2023 French Open. “I’m healthy, which I don’t like to say — touch wood,” said the world number nine, who was advised to quit tennis in 2022 because of a series of persistent injuries. “I’m happy that now I’m selling my game and that I can use it. I’m definitely appreciating more the time that I’m here. “I don’t have these big issues that I had in the past. I’m enjoying the moment that I’m here.” If Muchova wins, she will become the sixth Czech Wimbledon women’s champion and the third in the last four year after Marketa Vondrousova in 2023 and Barbora Krejcikova in 2024. Before this season, Muchova hired Dutch coach Sven Groeneveld, who played a key role in the success of Maria Sharapova and Monica Seles. It has proved an inspired move, with the revitalized Muchova winning titles in Doha and Bad Homburg. For the self-proclaimed “late bloomer,” they were only her second and third singles singles titles. “He has brought calm, a sense of perspective, lots of experience to the team. The things he tells me and that we do on court make sense,” Muchova said.
