Shes such a nice person...humble poised gracious polite and such a thorough lady on and off the court!...she really deserves to win a grand slam sometime soon❤
Always a supporter of Karolina and I know she will win at least one grand slam her talent is immense so just needs to stay healthy!
So gracious, both as a player and a human being.
I like this lady - so cool and gracious, on and off the court - always keeps her cool - no shouting, racket bashing, just plays the game - want to see her go far in the future - greetings from Philippines **
Stoic , calm, introspective. Hope she wins at least one slam. Congrats on a great tournament.
All the best Karolina ❤
She never seemed herself on court tonight but in the interview she is her usual polite and gracious person. Even so there were some great rallies tonight.
Yeah.Only 36% points at the net☹️
@@danielnowak2958 Agreed, though Gauff and her team had worked out that some early lobs would be effective, Muchova did make some uncharacteristic volley errors
Every time Coco wins the opponent never seemed herself. That's what you all come here to write. Ostapenko. Wozniacki. Muchova.
Why did Muchova start the game so badly, I didn't understand what happened to her.
@@kundakaps Karolina just wasn't herself !!
Very impressed how Muchova handled all those match points against her, especially that winner return down the baseline. Nerves of steel. Hope she wins at least one big tournament next year, she has everything (mentally and physically) to win.
Loved her answer, "it's people, what can you do?"
My Karolina so cuuute. I'm sad you lost but don't lose hope. Stay strong.
cute like the bride of chucky
Hahaha
@@Dentsun4228keyboard warrior🙄
I like your style Carolina You are one of the most graceful tennis players to watch and very intelligent play too I'm a Coco fan but I got to say keep your head up tennis needs you❤
You are a great player, the most elegant style on tour! Hope you will come back stronger!
A brilliant display of courage and tenacity♦️❤️🔥
Karolina you are amazing, keep yourself healthy, keep working, I am sure you will win a mayor rather sooner than later.
Karolina, we will always support you. You are the one of very few players that bring the classic style of game back to WTA , in fact this is also type of game missing from ATP. I have seen enough transition of both WTA and ATP into ball bashing and shooting contest, artistry and craftiness are sadly missing. I know it is sad not able to play your best shots at the crucial time of the match. But I can definitely see you are working on many aspects of your game, I can see the improvement in your backhand and your serve, just keep working on them, stay healthy. I am sure you will win a grand slam.
The WORLD has changed, not just tennis. It's better today than ever
Muchova deserves a big big win. She’s great!
i love her game and she is also great to look at .... Great job. Karolina
I think she will win Wimbledon has everything , I have never seen such a skilled ratchet control has her, truly wonderful to watch her variety of shots
I don't think she will be restricted to just Wimbledon. She demonstrated she is also very comfortable on clay even though she said she prefer something a little fast. I think she can win FO as well. What I really hope is that she will maintain her current fitness level for at least a few more years as she has lost almost 2 years due to health issues. It will be saddened for tennis if her two years absence from the game (2021-2022) stopping her fulfil her potential. She is such a joy to watch.
She is in my opinion the most talented player in the women's tour right now. Hope to see lots of her and of course Osaka next year. It was a shame she didn't show up today though. Hope she can find her inner beast for 2024.
Most players called the most talented win a slam sometime.
Most.
Why is it that when Coco beats these girls the song is they didn't show or play at their best?
@@kundakaps KENIN showed up in WIMBY 2023 1st round v COCO !!
@@robertmartin7594Where's Kenin, NOW.
Don’t feel too down. I hope you’ll do better next time. Best of luck. ❤
1:10 Heartbreaking. This struck me personally. Your mental state when competing can be your savior just as well as it can be your downfall. Carolina, I hope you receive the care and rest you deserve to address whatever you were going through during this match.
She has a very powerful forehand ... She will win a grand slam for sure....such powerful groundstrokes this girl has
Love this gal, she's so sincere and honest and humble.
Este es el momento de cocoya llegara el suyo es muy talentosa
She’s such a brilliant player!
She has an amazing game and is one of the few legitimate all court players on both tours. A grand slam is definitely is her future. Big fan of hers and Coco.
When Muchova plays well, she’s an unstoppable force. Just wasn’t herself this match and hope that reaching this stage of the USO would be a positive for her on the hard courts.
Who was she? You people try to take away from Coco beating her opponents.
@@kundakaps We'll see wether COCO is herself or not v ARYNA ??
She played her best. She was just outplayed
@@kundakaps Exactly. You see this?
@@robertmartin7594 - Doesn't matter what Coco does or doesn't do, you people will ALWAYS find a reason to make excuses for her win. You'll NEVER give her the credit she deserves and she's only 19. She's great.
She is so gorgeous
Strange match, it seemed like Karolina completely lost her feel in the 1st set. Even early in the 2nd set, her volleys were right to Coco with no pace. By the middle of the 2nd, her volleys got better. I don't know if she said it in this interview, but I think it was nerves. Take nothing away from Coco, but Karolina did not play up to her level for most of the 1st set.
She has really pretty EYES
Muchova has this beautifull flowing gamestile that nobody els on the wtatour poses. And now she is getting near the top. She needs and can win a gramslam titel
I was very impressed with her playing
Cheered for her, so sad that she lost in the semis. 😔
I LOVE HER 💘
beautiful eyes
She seems to play her best during the daytime...i wish her the best. The delay didnt help anyone.
Futur n°1 !
its ok,🤗with your great game,see u on your next.💪💪💪🤗🥰
Love her eyes :) Just a really nice young woman ....
Although I haven't followed Women' tennis lately, I think she's on her way to become a top 3 contender, However I am Disappointed in her, not giving enough credit to Coco, for her Most Excellent play and game Quality..!!???!! I understand rivalry..., but a bit of Grace in defeat, is the sure way to overcome and Sublimate One's weak points and lead to victory over One's "Nemesis"..! Too Bad...!!!!!
Agree
Beautiful girl
Que ojos azules mas lindos!!!!
KAJA, (quite obviously), was not her usual self in this match !! 1) When was the last time she lost a set on her serve ?? 2)When was the last time she lost a match on her serve ??
I think you didn’t relax at all during the match. You rushed yourself. You were nervous which is very possible for anyone in that atmosphere.
At least getting better against Coco. Really want to see Kaja play her level while against coco in next round. Love my tough cookie🇨🇿
You both were not competitive enough against really great female players from the past.
Definitely has what it takes to win a slam. Has every shot in the book and can hit them from anywhere. At 27 she's got time and I hope if she can just get a bit more tiger in her when she's in front she can do it. Lovely lady and such poise and grace on court, which is such a great thing to see these days. Maybe she's too nice to have the almost hate-like mentality the top players have, like their life depends on winning, to go all the way. And that's a compliment to her ❤
Yeah, too gracious to be super top winner, to me the same thing for Rybakina, they lack that "killer instinct", but we love as they are anyway
She has by far the most attractive style nowadays.
I don't understand why people say you have to be gracious and give credit to your opponent when you lose, you are there to win not be friends, isn't the handshake enough ? I never like it when people criticize an athlete when they are disappointed in a press conference. You can see she is terribly disappointed, let her get over it.
Why did muchova start the game so badly, I didn't understand what happened to her.
Coco happened to her
It's nice to finally see the tennis world not being so racist and finally recognizing people from Russia are humans just like you and I.
Wat?
@@joannab7403 i donno if you have been following but last year Russians were not allowed to play and the media was doing whatever they could to vilify them.
@@Thisisbailie this is Muchovad press conference whos is Czech. Russian are murdering innocent people in Ukraine and elsewhere. You cannot villify murders; you can only fight them
As a Brazilian I support Bia Haddad Maia - she is talented and seems to be a nice person -, but I actually like Muchova much more hahaha. She is fantastic on and off court and I really want her to win a Grand Slam someday. She definitely deserves it!
She looked very nervous and intimidated from the start.
Definitely not her best today…she played on a high level for 2 weeks and today couldn’t find that level.. I’m sure that’s frustrating 😢
Most players wouldn't be able to run down incredible shots. Coco is one of the fastest players out there. Karolina wasn't consistent and it cost her.
wanted karolina to win USO, as much as i wanted her to win RG. I'm very disappointed and will not be watching the finals. Hope Saba wins !
why bother, I mean it is just a baseline shoot out missing the craftiness, grace and classic style.
😂😂❤️❤️
@@jliang70 you're not a tennis fan. Maybe you should only watch when Muchova plays
@@thrshwll1526 I am not a fan of fans that cheers double faults and errors when a foreign player playing a home player.
@@jliang70 Then you're not a tennis fan. They do this in every arena all over the world. Every location has their favorites and roots hard for them .
These russian players are usually very polite
She is Czech, you illiterates🤔😪
Sorry to have to tell you this folks no woman above the age of 25 has won a slam since 2017 when Ostapenko won RG in 2017. This is a new era not the Serena the Goat who was still winning slams at 37 we will never see her class again. For those saying Muchova will win a slam I’m afraid she’s missed her chance already. I like her all court game but the injuries are a problem we can’t deny that. Wozniaci did win a slam at 30 and she’s the exception not the rule of the past 6 years.
Your stats are completely jumbled. Wozniacki was 28 when she won the Australian Open and Halep and Kerber won slams in their late 20s/early '30s in 2018-19...
Steffi Graf (Just one example) was far more dominant than Serena! From 1987 to 1996 Graf won 21 GS and lost 9 finals. In 1999 she won another GS and lost in one more final. Serena won her first GS title in 1999 and from 1999 to 2008 won 9 GS and lost in 3 finals. In the next ten years -2009 to 2018 - she won 14 GS titles and lost in 5 more finals. She lost in 2 more finals in 2019. Serena's longevity was amazing and she was quite possibly the greatest, but to say we will never see her class again is ridiculous. You only have to look at previous GS winners to see that the highest class players come along regularly.
@@rdh-daliasjb3796 Whom was Graf facing during her dominant years?
@@kundakaps What an asinine comment !! STEFFI could only beat whomever was around at the time, unless you'd like her to have manufactured opponents just as WILLIAMS was only beating whomever was around at the time !!
@@kundakaps Monica Seles for one! Sanchez-Vicario! Put Seles and Graf's GS record against Venus and Serena - No contest over any 10 year period of Venus and Serena's. One of the great things Venus and Serena had was their longevity, and without that longevity I'm not sure we would be calling Serena the Greatest, although she would definitely be in the conversation. I'm not trying to run down Serena or Venus or any tennis player, I'm just pointing out that stating we'll "... never see her class again..." seems ridiculous to me, and I'm not sure what you are basing that on!
It would have been nice if she gave 5 seconds of credit to Coco.
"you need to bring nearly 100% to beat her because she (Gauff) is top athlete, top player, you really need to be there to get a chance to get a win" (6:42-6:55).
it would be nice if you watched the whole video and didn't embarrass yourself
Agree
Excuses Excuses
Muchova was in a coma for much of the match. Better luck next time.
Esa semifinal fue una perdida de tiempo pues Muchova no rstuvo a la altura. Si no jugo bien, por que no lo hizo?, en que estaba pensando?, no tenia interes en ganar?.
У нее рязанская физиономия! Может быть Махова?
She farted 2 times
I like her, but she looks so soft.. needs to bring out that monica seles attitude, she was female nadal and better... 9 slams by 20! She never gave up...
She needs a sports psychologist, learnt nothing from FO and Cincinnati
