Karolina Muchova Preview
Karolina Muchova is the top seed at this year's Linz Open. She is currently ranked as World No. 19 which is a few spots below her previous best ranking of No. 8.
Muchova is playing in Linz for the first time in her career and had a bye in the first round.
The crafty Czech is 3-3 for the season. She garnered two singles wins at the United Cup where Czechia was eliminated in the quarterfinal stage to eventual champions the USA.
She then scored her other match win at the Australian Open where she defeated Nadia Podoroska in the first round. However, she could not pass up the second hurdle, losing to former champion Naomi Osaka.
This will be her first tournament since Melbourne, let's see if Muchova has what it takes to win her second WTA title.
Sara Sorribes Tormo Preview
Sara Sorribes Tormo started her Linz Open campaign from the qualifying rounds. She won two matches last weekend against Tamara Korpatsch and Suzan Lamens to reach the main draw.
In the opening round, she beat Wimbledon quarterfinalist Lulu Sun in straight sets with the match taking 18 games to decide. In the victory, Sorribes Tormo tallied two aces and two double faults.
She landed 64% of first serves in play and won 80% of first serve points (24/30).
Sorribes Tormo won 59% of second serve points (10/17) and saved one of two break points.
Sorribes Tormo won 49% of return points (41/84) and converted four of 12 break points.

• Sorribes Tormo beat Muchova in their only career meeting at the 2021 US Open in straight sets.
Karolina Muchova vs Sara Sorribes Tormo Prediction
I think we can confidently assume that Muchova must be craving for that second WTA title and this week is precious for her to add to that trophy cabinet. She is the top seed and the higher-ranked player in the field, which understandably, hasn't attracted top-tier names because of its spot in the calendar.
That means Muchova can build on that promising start to the season where she earned a top 10 win over Jasmine Paolini at the United Cup. Sorribes Tormo is a player who makes you earn the victory and already has momentum from qualifying. So, look out for a Muchova win with at least 18 games in the match.
