Anett Kontaveit came into the WTA Finals as the in-form player - Garbine Muguruza beat her twice to claim the title in Guadalajara. Here's an analysis of how she overcame the Estonian.
Her first serve win percentage just kept getting higher and higher - she stayed above 70% in all bar one set following her first set to Krejcikova. This could have been difficulty adjusting to the conditions or making a technical adjustment to make the serve a bit more spin loaded - either way, her game seemed much more secure after Pliskova/1st set against Krejcikova!
Could you explain why muguruza struggled in the first two matches in the round robin?
