2337 days later, Karolina Muchova repeated that feeling of raising a trophy. The Czech achieved it after defeating in the final of the WTA 1000 in Doha against the great tennis prospect: Victoria Mboko. Despite the Canadian being the clear favorite, Muchova wanted to end her drought and prevailed 6-4, 7-5.

This marks her first WTA 1000 and her second title in her career after winning in Seoul back in 2019. The Czech took six and a half years to add another trophy to her collection, breaking the third longest gap between a player's first and second title, only surpassed by Viktorija Golubic (8 years) and Sorana Cirstea (13 years).

Therefore, she felt relieved during the trophy presentation: "It's been a while since I won a tournament. So it's great to feel that sensation again. Remembering that feeling of victory here in Doha is incredible."

Karolina Muchova is on the brink of the WTA top 10 ranking

This first major title was a matter of time considering the statistics, as the 29-year-old player was the fourth tennis player with the most wins in WTA 1000 before clinching her first title in this category, with a total of 57 victories, behind Madison Keys (62), Carla Suárez (64), and Maria Sakkari (65).

The Czech has also made a significant leap in the WTA ranking, climbing eight positions and reaching the 11th spot, just three positions away from her best ranking. In fact, just above her is Mboko, who despite achieving her best position, did not secure her second WTA 1000 at 19 years old.

"Reaching the final is generally a positive thing, never negative. She played really great tennis. Playing against Top 10 players, my first time here as well; I didn't have many expectations for myself. She was more precise in the key points. She knew how to stay solid in those points where I think I failed much more than her," confessed the Canadian.

While Muchova emphasized the joy of victory, she also acknowledged the fleeting nature of good moments in such a competitive sport with a tight schedule. "The intensity of the feeling of winning is simply incredible," commented the champion.

"I try to enjoy it because in tennis, everything goes very fast. I think sometimes we forget to stop and reflect on the good weeks, or the small or big victories. My next tournament starts tomorrow, so it's very difficult. But I would like to take a break, enjoy it with my team, go somewhere tonight with them to have a good time and maybe reflect a bit more," concluded Karolina Muchova, who finally ends her title drought.
