Karolina Muchova had a great anecdote to tell WTA’s Courtney Nguyen after she and Marketa Vondrousova both reached the top-10. Last year, both Muchova and Vondrousova struggled with injuries and it impacted their results and form.

This Monday, 27-year-old Muchova broke into the top-10 for the first time in her career while Vondrousova returned to the top-10 and is now ranked at No 9. But before all of this – in 2022 November – Muchova and Vondrousova looked at each other and asked themselves “what the hell” were they doing at an ITF event in Shrewsbury.
