Karolina Muchova will be absent from Australia

The 2021 season got off to a really promising start for Karolina Muchova: At the Australian Open, the Czech reached the semifinals, where she was eliminated by Jennifer Brady. Like the American, who has been struggling with injuries for a long time, Muchova will not be able to repeat this result from January 17, 2022.

Because as the 25-year-old from Olomouc announced via Twitter, she has to wait for her next assignment. The last was at the US Open at the end of August, where Karolina Muchova lost to Sara Sorribes Tormo in the first round.

Muchova's rejection is already the second prominent from the Czech camp: A few days ago Karolina Pliskova signed off with a hand injury from the first major in 2022. The hopes rest primarily on French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova. And on Petra Kvitova, who in the 2019 Australian Open final just got the short straw against Naomi Osaka.
