Karolina Muchova : Une réaction surprenante aux commentaires de Chris Evert à l’US Open 2024

Tennis Classic : Karolina Muchova puts Chris Evert in her place after a new victory at the 2024 US Open

Karolina Muchova responded to claims that she ‘plays like a guy’ after securing another win at the 2024 US Open. She is undeniably one of the most talented players on the WTA Tour, but her success greatly depends on her good health.

The Czech player has had to deal with physical issues almost constantly, which have hindered her progress, even after her remarkable 2023 season. This forced her to miss out on her first participation in the WTA Finals. Now, at 28 years old, she is back on the courts, proving her skills at the 2024 US Open by defeating opponents such as Katie Volynets, Naomi Osaka, and Anastasia Potapova without dropping a set and making it to the second week of the tournament.

Response to Controversial Comments

Recently, attention has shifted from Muchova’s results to comments made by Chris Evert during a match commentary, stating that Muchova plays ‘like a guy.’ These remarks sparked a reaction from WTA player Ons Jabeur, who emphasized that a player’s style should not be stereotyped based on gender.

Evert, upon noticing Jabeur’s response, clarified that her intentions were not to offend and apologized for any misunderstanding. Jabeur accepted the apology and called for support among female players, both current and retired.

In a post-match press conference, Muchova addressed the comments, mentioning that she draws inspiration from male players like Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic, but does not consider her style of play to be similar to that of a man.
