 Egas Fjontek vs Karolina Mukova is a final for the French Open for the ladies for 2023. And both players have had to fight to get to the final. Mukova entered the tournament, unseated, and will take on Sakari, the number 8 seed in the first round. After a close first set, Mukova would win in straights 7-6-7-5. In the second round she'd take on Potoroska, and after getting bagled in the second set, she'd take it out in 3-6-3, love 6-6-3. In the third round she'd take on this 27-seed Bagou. And again, an easy win for Mukova, getting through in straights 6-3-6-2. In the fourth round she'd take on the lucky loser, Avanessian, who'd beaten Bencicci along the way. If this was no problem for Mukova, getting through in straights 6-4-6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals Mukova would take on fellow unseated player Pavlia Czenkova, who'd been very impressive to get to the quarterfinals. However Mukova was too strong, getting through in straights 7-5-6-2 to advance to another semi-final at a slam. In the semi-finals Mukova would take on the number 2 seed Sabalenka, who hadn't lost a set all week. Mukova would win the last 5 games to take the match 7-6-6-7-7-5 to get to her first Grand Slam final. Igor Shryontek started the tournament off as the number 1 seed and defending champion, and would take on Booksa in the first round. And after a close first set, would get through in straights 6-4-6-love. In the second round she'd take on Lu, and again after a shaky first set Shryontek got it together in the second, 6-4-6-love. In the third round she'd take on Wong, who'd taken out Buskova the 31-seed along the way. And this was by far Shryontek's best performance, getting a double bagel, 6-love 6-love, and showing everybody why she's the number 1 in the best player on the planet. In the fourth round she'd take on Shorenko, who'd taken out Krajikova and Andrescu in straight sets along the way. But unfortunately Shorenko was sick and couldn't finish the match, which Shryontek winning 5-1, retirement, to make to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Shryontek would take on the number 6, Goff, who'd already played 6 times before with relative ease. And although Goff put up a fight, the same story happened, which Shryontek winning in straights, 6-4-6-2, to get to another semi-finals of the French. In the semi-finals Shryontek would take on the dangerous Hadajmaia, who'd just taken out Jabur in the quarter-finals. And after an easy first set Shryontek would have to fight to win 6-2-7-6, to get to another French open final. These two have only played the one time before. That was on a clay court in Prague four years ago, with Mookova getting the win. But we all know Shryontek in 2019 was not the same player she is in 2023, but it will give Mookova a little bit of confidence due to it being a clay court clash. If Mookova is going to win this one, she has to use the variety. Come to the net, use those volleys, hit the big shots from the baseline like she did against Sabalenka. The variety might frustrate Shryontek. If Shryontek is going to win this one, she has to make Mookova move. Coming to the net as well might be something that Shryontek might want to try as well. Pushing Mookova off the court will be the key to getting this one. This is such a fun final because Shryontek, of course, we expect to be here every single time. But Mookova having a very good run and it's very, very dangerous, but I'm going to go with Shryontek in three sets. I think Mookova might be able to get a set because she is very, very talented and she might be able to use that variation. But Shryontek's a problem solver and I think she'll solve this problem and win in three, get another French open to her name. But let me know down in the comments below who's been in the French open this year.
