Muchova and Mensik reached the final by surviving a dramatic semi-final against Mirra Andreeva and Andrey Rublev, saving two match points to win 5-4 (6), 3-5, [11-9]. Asked afterward what it was like relying on Mensik\u2019s serve late in tense tiebreaks, Muchova said: \u201c100% confidence. I\u2019m just at the net covering my side and I\u2019m like, \u2018ace it out please so I can just stand on my side.\u2019 He\u2019s an unbelievable player and an unbelievable server. It\u2019s pretty easy for me to play with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
You\u2019re not allowed to play with anyone else until my career finishes.<\/p>\n
Bencic and Cobolli reached their first mixed doubles final together by beating Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils 4-5, 4-1, [10-5], having dropped just one set all tournament before the final.<\/p>\n
Cobolli turned to Bencic on court afterward: \u201cThank you for playing with me. I think it was kind of a coincidence how we started, but I really enjoyed every single match we played together. You give so much energy and we have such a positive vibe. As I told you before, now you\u2019re not allowed to play with anyone else until my career finishes. I hope we can try this again and hopefully win one time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Muchova, accepting the trophy, joked: \u201cI think at the end the matching outfits made the difference for us. No, really, I wasn\u2019t expecting to be standing here. Thanks, Jakub, for carrying me through this event\u201d.<\/p>\n
