At this Stage

Some first rounds are auditions; this was a statement of continuity. A week after winning the Bad Homburg grass-court title and returning to the top 10, Karolína Muchová spent 57 minutes dismantling Anastasia Zakharova 6-3 6-2 — ten aces to none, 22 winners to three, every break point taken and none faced. Zakharova, sliding down the rankings coming in, simply had no entry point into the match. Grass form this clean tends to travel, and it did: Muchová's second-round meeting with Zhang Shuai ended with the identical scoreline, 6-3 6-2.
