The return of **Karolina Muchova** to the clay court at the **WTA Palermo** tournament was shaping up to be very exciting, and it could be said that it lived up to expectations. The Czech player is now in the round of 16 after Katarzyna Kawa retired from the match with just one game remaining for Muchova to seal the victory. However, before reaching that point, Muchova had to fight to turn the tables, recovering from being down two breaks in the first set and saving three set points in a very lengthy tie-break. **(7-6(14) 5-1)**
