Muchová won in Bad Homburg after Osaka's retirement

Karolína Muchová won the grass-court WTA tournament in Bad Homburg and, two days before the start of Wimbledon, secured her third title on the WTA tour. The Czech tennis player led the Japanese Naomi Osaka 6:1 and 1:0 in the final when the former world number one retired from the match due to leg problems. denik.cz ↗

The final in Germany lasted only 46 minutes. Muchová started significantly better and allowed her opponent only a single game in the first set. After the opening set, she continued to lead at the start of the second set, before Osaka was unable to continue the match. For both players, it was their first final on grass. lidovky.cz ↗

In Bad Homburg, Muchová was seeded fourth, while Osaka was seeded sixth. The tournament served as the Czech player's final preparation before Wimbledon, which she now heads into with a title from a grass surface. The final was played on a day when organizers also adjusted the schedule due to high temperatures. idnes.cz ↗

The result confirms Muchová's good form ahead of one of the season's main tournaments. Wimbledon begins shortly after the end of the Bad Homburg tournament, and the Czech tennis player enters it after a successful week, while for Osaka, further developments will depend on the state of her injured leg. irozhlas.cz ↗
