Roddick on Muchova: Viral Video Explains All

When next year the republic will again commemorate the anniversary of the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops, the tennis player from Olomouc will already be celebrating her 30th birthday.

Season after season, some tennis experts and former players puzzle over how Muchová could win only one WTA tournament so far.

It was not possible to expand the collection of trophies even in 2025, although it was not far from that. She played in the semifinals in Linz, in Dubai, and made it to the quarterfinals at the popular US Open.

“She’s an incredible player. The only factor that kept her from being in the top five last year was health issues,” Roddick said on his Served with Roddick podcast.

Although she did not win a title in the end, the currently 19th tennis player in the world scored a number of big wins, for example against the Italian Jasmine Paolini, the Swiss Belinda Bencicová or compatriots Markéta Vondroušová and Linda Nosková.

“In my opinion, she can torment absolutely every opponent on the circuit. I rank her among the top five players who can win a grand slam next year,” the former top 10 player predicted.

His words are also confirmed by the exchange, which in recent days has been circulating the world of social networks as one of the very best that the WTA circuit has offered this year.

She performed it in February’s semi-final in Dubai, when she lobbed Clara Tauson with a tweener with her back to the net.

In the spring, the Czech tennis player struggled with an injured wrist of her left hand, due to which she could only play a one-handed backhand for several months. She ended the season at the end of October at the tournament in Tokyo.
