I really can't see how Muchova can beat Mboko ..though I would be happy to see her win her first 1000 ...

I was thinking the same, but the reality was very different. :)

I know it is very easy to speak after the fact, but why was it hard to see Muchova beating Mboko?
The problem for Muchova is her consistency. But strokes wise, tell me one stroke she does not master. Her serve is superb, her volleys are the current best in the tour, her backcourt game is solid (and the FH is a weapon).
The score is what you would have expected. Two very good players, and they were separated by very little.
I cannot picture any player Muchova can't beat. Her woes against Coco are simply because of playing styles, not because Karolina's game is not up to Coco's.
Having said that: man, I am delighted she won. Incredible that with that game she has only two titles in her career.

Just going by strokes you are of course right. However Mboko seemed to have a momentum + Muchova is not much of a fighter and usually underperforms in finals. I too am happy that she won. Mboko will have plenty of titles soon enough.
