Muchova has reached the round of 16 or better at every tournament she entered in 2026, including a runner-up finish in Stuttgart on clay.
She has played only one match in the past month since Stuttgart, but her variety and offensive options from both the baseline and net make her a heavy favorite.

Recent Italian Open champion Elina Svitolina starts against Anna Bondar. Svitolina holds an 8-0 record in clay-court finals after defeating Coco Gauff in Rome.
