The women’s singles category of the French Open ended with Iga Swiatek defending her title. Although Karolina Muchova couldn’t overcome the challenge of the world no.1, she fought with the utmost panache till the end. One cannot deny that Muchova houses quite a lot of talent after defeating Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinal of the French Open. To add to the fact, a recent video of Muchova was released, which showed her prowess when she was just 12 years old. Additionally, her playing style also reminded viewers of the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal.  

Although Muchova fought hard in the clay major, she almost gave up tennis a year ago. With her career plagued by injuries, Muchova’s doctors were advising her on how to continue. Suggestions took a dark turn as she was also advised to retire.
