Canada’s Victoria Mboko was ousted by Czechia’s Karolina Muchova deep into a WTA 1000 tournament for a second time this year.<\/p>\n
Muchova posted a 7-5, 7-6 (5) win over Mboko in a tightly contested quarterfinal Tuesday at the Miami Open.<\/p>\n
The Czech veteran scored the only break of the match when she came back from 30-love to take a 6-5 lead in the first set.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She then saved a set point in the second set before winning the tiebreaker, converting match point against serve.<\/p>\n
Mboko was in the quarterfinals of a third straight 1000-level tournament, a run that started with a loss to Muchova in the final of the Qatar TotalEnergies Open last month.<\/p>\n
She also advanced to the quarterfinals at Indian Wells, Calif., earlier this month before losing to top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old from Burlington, Ont., who entered Miami ranked ninth in the world, improved her record this season to 19-6 with her run to the quarterfinals in Miami.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canada’s Victoria Mboko was ousted by Czechia’s Karolina Muchova deep into a WTA 1000 tournament for a second…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559028,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-559027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
