Marketa Vondrousova will face Karolina Muchova in the first round of the Ningbo Open 2025, with the winner set to meet seventh seed Diana Shnaider in the second round. Vondrousova, competing under a protected ranking, has had an injury-plagued season but has shown flashes of her top form when healthy. She retired in Adelaide due to a back issue, withdrew from Melbourne for the same reason, and later pulled out of Rome.
At the US Open, Vondrousova was forced to retire in the quarterfinals after aggravating a knee injury. Her standout performance came in Berlin, where she claimed her third singles title by upsetting Wang Xinyu in three sets. She also reached the quarterfinals in Abu Dhabi, though other events saw early exits. Across 27 matches this season, Vondrousova has fired 120 aces, won 68.7% of first-serve points, captured 46.2% of return points, and converted 47.8% of break points.
Muchova, on the other hand, has battled illness and injury this season, withdrawing from Madrid and Rome and retiring in Wuhan due to heat illness. Her only main-draw singles title came at the 2019 Korea Open against Magda Linette, but 2025 has brought some resurgence. She reached semifinals in Linz and Dubai and the US Open quarterfinals, losing to Naomi Osaka in straight sets. Across 38 matches, she has hit 170 aces, won 67.1% of first-serve points, claimed 41.1% of return points, and converted 38.1% of break points.
