Guadalajara [Mexico], November 15 (ANI): Garbine Muguruza on Sunday defeated number eight seed Anett Kontaveit by 6-4, 6-4 to book her spot in the semi-finals of the ongoing WTA Finals.
With this victory, the number six seed Spaniard snapped the 12-match winning streak of Kontaveit. Muguruza is in the knockout stage for the first time since her tournament debut in 2015.
Muguruza will advance to the semi-finals as the second qualifier out of the Teotihuacan group, posting a 2-1 record along with group winner Kontaveit and will face countrywoman Paula Badosa on Tuesday.
Coming into the match with a 2-0 record after back-to-back straight-set wins, Kontaveit confirmed her place at the top of the group after Karolina Pliskova's three-set win over Barbora Krejcikova earlier in the day. Pliskova's victory created an easy scenario for Muguruza -- win and advance. (ANI)

After two quick starts against Namibia and Zimbabwe, Sanju saved his best for all the high-stakes matches. From 97* against West Indies in the virtual quarterfinal for the final semifinal spot, to 89 against England and another 89 against New Zealand in semifinals and finals, Sanju left everyone mesmerised with his clean hitting and silenced every bit of trolling, criticism about his poor run and inconsistency, at least for a very long while to come.
