Karolina Muchova, overwhelmed by Iga Swiatek: “I didn’t feel well.”

Although she has yet to start her 2025 season at the level of her talent, despite a semifinal run in Dubai, it is rare to see Karolina Muchova suffer such a heavy defeat.

Soundly beaten by Iga Swiatek in the round of 16 at the Indian Wells WTA 1000 (6-1, 6-1 in less than an hour), the Czech player did not look for excuses after the match.

“It was a bad day in every way. Nothing worked for me. I didn’t feel well. Iga played very well, and when she spots weaknesses on the other side of the net, she presses even harder. I’ve been working on technical improvements in training, but I didn’t show any of them today. Hopefully, they will be visible in Miami.”
