Karolina Muchova, the world number seven, secured her place in the third round of the US Open with a dominant 6-1, 6-0 win over Britain's Katie Boulter on Wednesday. The match was relocated to the roofed Louis Armstrong Stadium due to rain, and Muchova proved to be ruthless from the outset. She briefly threatened a contest in the first set but quickly regained control, capitalizing on Boulter's 15 unforced errors in that set alone.
Boulter, a two-time semi-finalist at the same venue, struggled to maintain any rhythm against the Czech player, allowing Muchova to clinch the victory in under an hour. The world number 62 expressed her contentment with her composure and adaptability to the new court conditions. Muchova, who also won the mixed doubles title in New York with Jakub Mensik, will face the winner of the upcoming American match between Emma Navarro and Caty McNally.
