Caroline Wozniacki ended Garbine Muguruza¡¯s honeymoon as world No. 1 in clinical fashion with a 6-2, 6-0 win on Saturday to book her place in the Toray Pan Pacific Open final against unseeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Wimbledon champion Muguruza went into this week¡¯s tournament in Tokyo fresh from becoming the first Spanish woman to top the rankings since Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in 1995, but ran into a determined figure in world No. 3 Wozniacki.
The Dane jumped straight on Muguruza to rack up a 3-0 lead in the first set at Ariake Colosseum, before allowing her opponent only six points in a second-set demolition to wrap up the match in exactly an hour.
