The Czech Republic star claimed that her ex-boyfriend did not move initially when asked to, but later obliged. She said it was hard for her to focus at the moment.

"Well, it wasn't tennis-related. Opposite my bench, my ex-boyfriend sat down. He sometimes shows up at places where he shouldn't be. That startled me a bit. I told him to leave. He didn't at first, but later he did go. It was hard to focus in that moment," said Muchova in the Post-Match Conference.
