Anett Kontaveit has arrived launched at the WTA Finals in Guadalajara (Mexico). In the match that opened the Women’s Masters, the Estonia extended its winning streak to 11 in a row, defeating Barbora Krejcikova 6-3, 6-4 in 1h: 15.
The Estonian, 25 years old and 8th in the world, is being the sensation of the last leg of the season. He is 27-2 on balance in his last seven tournaments, which has earned him the titles of Cleveland, Ostrava, Moscow and Cluj-Napoca. Kontaveit dominated the match at all times, against the Czech (3rd in the ranking), the only player who was last week in the WTA Finals and who also plays the doubles tournament.
Unforced errors (34 versus 16 by Kontaveit) penalized her. The Estonian, in addition, was very successful on serve with 85% of points won with first.
Kontaveit, who was last in the finals because of the resignation of number one Ashleigh Barty, was the first to score a victory. And he made it clear to his other rivals, Garbiñe Muguruza and Karolina Pliskova, that it will be tough to fight for a place in the semifinals.
