Karolina Muchova secured her spot in the 2024 US Open semifinals deservedly, after a solid victory over Beatriz Haddad-Maia with a score of 6-1 6-4. The Czech player had to be treated for hip discomfort, but she managed to prevail thanks to an outstanding level of accuracy with her drive. On the other hand, the Brazilian player was far from her usual form and even experienced a sort of anxiety attack towards the end of the match, possibly related to nerves and the recent passing of her physiotherapist's son two days ago.
