No. 43-ranked Muchova has become the fourth lowest-ranked woman to reach the final at the French Open
saved a match-point to stun Aryna Sabalenka and reach her first grand slam final at the French Open on Thursday.
Ranked No. 43 in the world, the 26-year-old Muchova became the fourth lowest-ranked woman to reach the final at the French Open. Also, it is the fifth year in a row that the final will feature an unseeded player. Muchova has been climbing rapidly this year, though, and can break into the top 10 by lifting the trophy.
She is not averse to a winner, too, and produced one from the top drawer on her second set-point at 6-5 in the tie-break, drilling a backhand down the line. Nerves were evident in both players, and Sabalenka double-faulted on her first set-point, but she powered away an overhead on the second.
