Ladies Singles Final has started Mboko v Muchova
3 games all 1st set
Muchova converts the first BPs of the match and leads 4-3
A love service game from Muchova as she converts her breaks leads 5-3

 

[Murat B.]

Mboko will be a hell of a player once her coach realizes that she is moving her head too much with the shot on the forehand side. Just make her watch a couple of super slow motion Roger forehands...how he keeps his head steady and eyes focused on the contact point almost for a full half second.
When I first watched Karolina, I did not think she was much ov a player ( joke already done? My bad ) but she is solid ! Got the break in the first . One thing about Mboko though, she never gives up.

As a long time Muchova fan I am crossing my toes and fingers and all bodily parts

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A wonderful performance from Muchova who defeats Mboko 64 75 to win the biggest title of her career and just dropped 1 set all tournament!
Karolina's spot serving was wonderful, Mboko could not read it, Karolina played with intelligent variation, her net game, approach timing was impeccable, she didnt allow Mboko to push.
Well done to Mboko who had a great tournament, the teenager will be a Top Ten player on Monday
Karolina will be No 11 in the WTA rankings on Monday, just outside the Top Ten with this win.
