Karolina Pliskova vs. Garbine Muguruza 11/10/21 - WTA Finals Women Singles Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 11/09/2021 at 10:32 AM ET
Czech tennis superstar Karolina Pliskova is set to play at the 2021 WTA Finals. Pliskova will start her tournament against Garbine Muguruza from Spain.
It has been a decent end of the season for Garbine Muguruza as she recently won the Chicago Falls Classic. The past few seasons have been tough for Muguruza but the Spanish superstar seemed to have overcome injuries and was back to playing her best tennis during the season. Muguruza made the fourth round of both the US Open and Australian Open this season and will be hoping to finish the season with great strength. That being said, this is expected to be a tough start to the tournament for the Spanish superstar.
On the other side of the coin, Karolina Pliskova has had another solid season but once again has failed to win a major tournament. Pliskova has been in decent form leading into this tournament as she made the quarterfinals at the US Open, semifinals at the Cincinnati Masters, and the final of the Canadian Open. Karolina Pliskova also made the final at Wimbledon but as she is at the peak of her career, she will be hoping to win some Grand Slam titles soon. That being said, Karolina Pliskova looks in good form and will be hoping to have a big tournament to end the season.
Garbine Muguruza and Karolina Pliskova have played each other 10 times in the past with Pliskova winning on 8 occasions and Muguruza winning just twice. The most recent match between these two players was in 2019 at the Australian Open where Karolina Pliskova won in straight sets. The last head-to-head win for Muguruza was in 2017.
Looking at all the information, I see Karolina Pliskova winning this match. Both players are of the elite level but Pliskova has a great record against Muguruza and I see her having the momentum heading into this match. I see Karolina Pliskova winning this match in 3 sets.
