Mukhova vs Uchidima: WTA Wuhan Match Prediction
Following her defeat in the Beijing final on October 8, Karolína Muchová will compete in the tournament in Wuhan. The Czech tennis player will face Mōyuka Uchidzima. Will the favorite encounter challenges today, and what reliable betting options are available for this match? We encourage you to check out our predictions.
Command Analysis
Karolina Muchova
Czech RepublicCurrent Form
Last week, Muchova showcased impressive skills in Beijing. She confidently advanced to the finals, notably defeating the world’s second-ranked player Aryna Sabalenka. It seemed the title was within her grasp, but in the final against Coco Gauff, she was unrecognizable and couldn’t match the American's game, losing 1-6, 3-6. Notably, in the Chinese capital, Carolina secured six victories, not dropping a single set in five of those matches.
Professional Attributes
Muchova is a versatile tennis player with a comprehensive technical repertoire and virtually no weak spots in her game. She knows when to seize the moment for a fierce attack, possesses a powerful first serve, and executes well at the net.
Current Tour Stats
Following an injury that kept her out of the first half of the season, Muchova has achieved 18 wins in just a few months, with only eight losses. However, her hard court statistics are slightly less impressive at +12 -3.
Interesting Betting Facts
- Five of Muchova's last six wins were by a definitive 2-0 set score
- In 9 of her last 10 matches, no more than nine games were played in the first set
Moyuka Uchijima
JapanCurrent Form
Last week in Beijing, Uchida advanced one round before losing to Linette with scores of 4-6, 6-4, 3-6. In Wuhan, the Japanese player competed in two qualifying matches, winning against Gao Xinyu 7-5, 7-6 and Gadeki 7-5, 6-4. It's clear that even against less formidable opponents, Moyuka faced challenges.
Professional Attributes
Moyuka is not known for her exceptional physical prowess and lacks a powerful serve. She relies heavily on her baseline play and earns points through her return game. Notably, Uchida has impressive foot speed, allowing her to reach many balls at the back of the court.
Current Tour Statistics
The 23-year-old currently ranks 63rd in the world and is having one of the best seasons of her career. On hard courts, she boasts 24 wins and 10 losses. It's important to note that many of her achievements have come in less prestigious tournaments or during qualifying rounds.
Interesting Betting Insights
- In the last four matches involving Uchida, more than nine games were played in the second set.
Trends
Bet Total under 2.5 sets
In six of the last seven matches involving Mukova, the minimum number of sets was played

This scenario unfolded in two of the last four matches for the Japanese player
4.05Tip and bets
Undoubtedly, Uchidima has earned respect for her progress throughout the season, but she is unlikely to present a challenge to the on-form Muchova. The Czech player has peaked since the US Open and handles lower-ranked opponents with confidence, conceding a minimal number of games. Muchova, who lacks a powerful serve, is capable of delivering a decisive victory against the Japanese player.
Our prediction is a Muchova victory with a handicap of (-6) games at odds of 1.65
Total Bet
In the previous tournament in Beijing, Muchova won six matches and only dropped a set in her match against Sabalenka. It’s unlikely that Karolina will allow Uchijima to score more than three or four games today.
The second bet is for a total of under 19 games at 1.63
First Set Bet
In eight out of her last nine matches, Muchova has not played more than nine games in the first set. We expect Karolina to establish her significant advantage right from the start today.
Prediction: total games in the first set under 9.5 with odds of 1.40
