Cirstea is one of the four players to enter the Flushing Meadows main draw this edition via protected rankings, but the Romanian faced no difficulty in dispatching Solana Sierra in straight sets in round one.
Just days before the tournament, the 35-year-old won the Cleveland title. Her best performance at the US Open came in 2023, when she reached the quarterfinals for the first time in her career, defeating fourth seed Elena Rybakina along the way.
Muchova, currently ranked 13th, had to battle past legendary Venus Williams in three sets to reach this round. The 29-year-old Czech has performed admirably at Flushing Meadows, reaching the semi-finals in 2023 and 2024.
