China Open: Muchova Defeats Injured Zheng To Meet Gauff In Final
Karolina Muchova: Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic will face No. 4 seed Coco Gauff of the United States in the 2024 China Open women's singles final after defeating home favourite and Paris Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen on Saturday. World No. 49 Muchova, who ended top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka's 15-match winning streak on Friday, made a strong start in the semifinal, taking a 3-2 lead in the first set.
Zheng suffered a painful fall while attempting to save a breakpoint in the sixth game, leaving her sprawled on the court in visible distress. After receiving medical attention and having her injured fingers bandaged, Zheng continued playing, but Muchova capitalized on the moment, winning the first set 6-3, reports Xinhua.
In the second set, Zheng mounted a determined comeback but struggled with seven double faults that disrupted her service games. Muchova stayed steady, holding off Zheng's efforts to secure a 6-4 win and a place in the final.
