"I felt very good actually from the start till the end," Muchova told reporters. "I had a good feeling with the ball from the baseline, I felt good on the net, slicing, and with my whole game. French Open finalist Muchova got off to a quick start and raced out to a 3-0 lead before fending off nine break points to win a marathon game and extend to 4-0. A flustered Cirstea's backhand then landed wide to put her opponent up 5-0 and Muchova completed the bagel the next game. Next up for Muchova is Gauff, who was a 6-0 6-2 winner over Jelena Ostapenko earlier in the day.

☆ Cirstea hits out at Adidas over player contracts

Nov 1 (Reuters) - Romania's Sorana Cirstea has lamented how brands value players' "looks" more than performance while drawing up contracts, saying that Adidas told her "it's better to look good and be in Top-20 than to not look that good and be number one". Cirstea, who is currently ranked 38th in women's singles, made the comments on Romanian podcast "La Fileu" last week while discussing advertising contracts handed out to tennis players. The 32-year-old, formerly sponsored by Adidas, said American, Chinese, Japanese and British players are the best-paid, but "Eastern Europe doesn't really sell". Cirstea reached a career-high ranking of 21 in 2013. Reporting by Luiza Ilie, writing by Manasi Pathak Editing by Christian RadnedgeOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
