After Madison Keys and Dominika Cibulkova both lost, Karolina Pliskova is now the only WTA Finals debutante to win a match at the 2016 edition of the prestigious tournament and the victory came in style, as the No.1 Czech saved a match point to devastate Garbina Muguruza 6-2 6-7(4) 7-5 in the White Group. The match lasted two hours and 29 minutes and finished at about 1:30 a.m. local time.
Sporting her new black and white Court Couture Fila kit, the fourth-seeded Pliskova confidently marched through the opening set without facing a break point and went 3-1 up in the second.
