TOKYO, September 23 

Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki crushed new world No. 1 Garbine Muguruza 6-2 6-0 on Saturday to advance to the final of the Pan Pacific Open as the Dane remained on course for a third title at the Tokyo tournament. 

The third seed rallied from a set down to win her previous two matches but the 27-year-old wasted no time seizing control of her semifinal against Wimbledon champion Muguruza.

The Dane broke the top-seeded Spaniard’s opening service game and repeated the feat twice more to cruise through the first set.

A stunned Muguruza, who had not lost a set in the previous rounds, was unable to gain any momentum and was shut out for the remainder of a match that was wrapped up in exactly one hour.

Wozniacki will contest her seventh final of the season after losing her previous six.

In the final, Wozniacki will face Russia’s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who withstood a furious rally to beat Angelique Kerber 6-0 6-7(4) 6-4. — Reuters
