Mukhova last performed in Dubai in 2023 and was able to reach the quarterfinals then. This time, Caroline has reached this stage again on the local courts. The opening match against Lamens (6-2, 6-2) was the easiest for her. Further, in tight and nervous fights, she broke the resistance of Radukan (7-6, 6-4) and Kessler (6-3, 1-6, 7-6). It can be noted that the Czech woman often confidently enters the game, seizes the advantage, but loses concentration and allows the opponents to return to the game.

Karolina deserves a place in the top 10 in terms of her technical arsenal and a variety of strokes, where she has already visited. However, frequent injuries prevent her from gaining a foothold in the top ten. We note Mukhova's ability to adapt to her rivals and change her tactics during individual matches.
