Arantxa
Sanchez
Vicario
was
the
only
other
player
from
Spain
to
reach
the
WTA
Finals
decider,
finishing
runner-up
to
Stefanie
Graf
in
1993.
But
Muguruza
exceeded
that
result
as
the
former
world
number
one
proved
too
strong
for
Kontaveit
at
the
prestigious
year-ending
championship
on
Wednesday
(November
17).
Muguruza
–
a
two-time
grand
slam
champion
–
also
celebrated
her
10th
WTA
Tour
title,
having
been
the
only
player
to
beat
Kontaveit
within
the
last
month
following
her
group-stage
success
in
Guadalajara.
The
first
Spaniard
to
win
the
@WTAFinals
????????????
@GarbiMuguruza
cruises
to
victory
in
straight-sets
over
Kontaveit
to
claim
the
#AKRONWTAFinals
trophy

After
exchanging
breaks
in
the
opening
set,
Muguruza
struck
for
a
4-3
lead,
winning
the
last
four
games
to
seize
control
midweek.
Kontaveit
claimed
the
early
break
in
the
second
set
as
errors
started
to
mount
for
Muguruza,
who
eventually
found
herself
5-3
adrift.
But
as
Kontaveit
served
for
the
set,
Muguruza
rallied
in
a
dominant
display,
reeling
off
four
consecutive
games
like
she
did
in
the
opener
to
take
home
the
WTA
crown.
