Muchova is one of the handfull female players I actually enjoy to watch since her diversity brings something fresh and unortodox compared to brainless slamming and play without any kind of strategical set up. She is literally hammering everybody here with the favourite n1. being the latest victim. Before Saba, Muchova allowed only 12 games to her oponents in 4 matches. Some impressive stats, even for WTA standards. I can't say that Zheng is playing bad, but she didn't show solidity as Muchova so far. In the world of WTA where keeping your serve actually means making a break, Muchova has the upper hand. Infact, the only advantage Zheng has here imo is home turf, but I doubt Muchova will be bothered by that fact. The last time they met in Palermo, Zheng barely prevailed in 3 sets with Muchova playing that tournament after the long break and with one leg, but still managed to take it to decider. The situation here is drasticaly different and with the current form of the Chezh girl (who btw has only 2 defeats since the HC swing started, both from Pegula, along with 11 wins) I think she can bring down the Olymlic gold medalist. Muchova deserves this final more than anybody so far.
