Muchova vs Podoroska Prediction & Pick

Although Muchova is heavily favored, she won't have an easy time advancing. After all, not only was Podoroska a French Open semifinalist in 2020, but she also has a slightly better winning percentage on clay courts over her career (68.2%) than Muchova (63.3%). On top of that, Podoroska picked up the win when the pair first clashed seven years ago.

Muchova's win over Sakkari should give her a boost here, but it's clear that putting down her upcoming foe will be easier said than done. Still, Muchova has made it to the French Open's third round in back-to-back years and has what it takes to make some noise.

It'll be a competitive affair that ends with the Czech competitor standing tall.

Winner: Karolina Muchova

Muchova vs Podoroska Best Bet

Even though I'm confident that Muchova will pull off the win, I won't be surprised if Podoroska steals a set. The underdog has already defeated Muchova in the past and knows her way around a clay court. Podoroska won't go down without a fight, forcing Muchova to go the distance if she wants to advance.

Bet: Karolina Muchova to Win in Three Sets (+280)
