Taylor Townsend has played great tennis in 2023.
Though she has been most recently known for her doubles play, she is an accomplished singles player who ran into a tough opponent in French Open finalist Karolina Muchova on Friday in the third round of the US Open.
“Every tournament I’ve played, I play singles in, so I’m a tennis player, end of.”

Muchova has been plagued with injuries in recent years but plays with finesse and possesses a great volley.

Karolina is easily one of the brightest highlights in women’s tennis right now.
She always has been, but this year, the world is finally seeing her gift.

Muchova is often overlooked for the likes of Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff, and Belinda Bencic who are also in the top half of the women’s draw.

As for Townsend, though she is no doubt disappointed, she still has plenty to play for in the 2023 US Open.
She is playing women’s doubles with Canadian Leylah Fernandez and mixed doubles with American Ben Shelton.
Townsend and Fernandez have been playing together for less than two years but already made it to the French Open finals; their next US Open match is on Saturday.
