Muguruza’s victory in her final round-robin contest in the eight-woman season finale in Guadalajara denied Karolina Pliskova a place in the knockout phase.
The former World No. 1 Pliskova battled to a gutsy 0-6, 6-4, 6-4 win over fellow Czech Barbora Krejcikova earlier in the day.
Muguruza will face fellow Spaniard Paula Badosa on Tuesday. “It’s amazing there are four players left and two of them are Spaniards. I mean, that just shows that Spain has a great level of tennis and a great school. It’s going to be a fun match,” Muguruza said. Kontaveit was already assured of a semi-final berth.
