She faced her toughest opposition in the fourth round, taking on 8th-seeded Mirra Andreeva, but showed her class and composure, winning 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-0 to reach the last eight.
Muchová got a first-round bye as well and began her campaign with a hard-fought 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 win over Camila Osorio in the second round. In her next match, the Czech player secured a straightforward 6-3, 7-5 win over Katie Boulter. Her most impressive performance came in the fourth round, when she defeated 31st-seeded and last year’s semifinalist Alexandra Eala, winning 6-0, 6-2.

The PFSN Simulator shows the upcoming contest as a close one, with Mboko the slight favorite at 54%. That said, Muchová’s second-serve effectiveness will be key on a fast court in Miami.
The Czech player is one of the best at court coverage on the WTA Tour and will have the upper hand in longer rallies. Also, winning against Mboko at the WTA 1000 final last month in Doha will give the 13th seed the confidence she needs going into this match.
Pick: Muchová to win in three sets
