Brady gave Muchova no chance in the early going, racing out to a 2-0, 40-15 advantage. Clean stuff, the precision matching the Pennsylvanian's bulldozing power.
Quickly and somewhat inexplicably, though, Brady lost serve for 2-1 — and hung on for the rest of the set.
She overturned deficits of 15-30 in her next two service games, then 0-30 at 4-4. Brady likes to be aggressive but perhaps it was a case of too aggressive, too early.

Nonetheless, Brady edged in front 5-4 and serving to stay in the opener, Muchova buckled with a double fault into the net on a first set point.
Brady struck five winners and 17 unforced errors in the set.
