Match recap

Karolina Muchova defeated Clara Tauson 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 in the Quarterfinal of the Bad Homburg Open 2026.

Muchova lost the opening set 6-1 — Tauson won 91% of her first serves and broke three times in four chances — but the recovery hinged on Muchova's return game finding the range. After converting nothing in set one, she broke three times in set two and won 100% of her first-serve points in the decider. The break in game five of the third set put her ahead for good. Tauson's edge in conversion (4 of 6 to Muchova's 5 of 11) couldn't survive the run of chances Muchova generated late.
