Belinda Bencic of Switzerland will lock horns with Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Toray Pan Pacific Open on Friday.
Bencic emerges as an intriguing +135 underdog in this matchup because of her 2-2 head-to-head record against Muchova (-175).
Current Form:
Bencic advanced to the quarterfinals after beating Varvara Gracheva of France 6-4, 6-3 on Friday. The Swiss hold 6 of 9 service games and broke Gracheva six times in this match. Bencic made it back-to-back quarterfinals as she had also made it through to the final eight at the 2025 Ningbo Open last week.
Muchova swept Maya Joint 6-3, 7-5 to earn her spot in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Toray Pan Pacific Open. Muchova won 30 points off her first serves and captured five breakpoint conversions to stave off a strong challenge from the up-and-coming Aussie. The Czech is now 23-12 in hard-court matches in 2025.

Our Belinda Bencic vs Karolina Muchova Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Karolina Muchova is my pick to win what many expect to be the most competitive quarterfinal pairing on Friday. Bencic is a strong opponent with a broad experience in high-leverage matches. However, Muchova looked sharp in her win over Joint in the previous round. The Czech also defeated Bencic in three sets in their last matchup at the 2025 Canadian Open round of 32, 6-7, 6-2, 6-3, bolstering my belief that Muchova has the upper hand ahead of their upcoming clash.
Our betting prediction for Karolina Muchova vs. Belinda Bencic: Karolina Muchova will win.
