MATCH POINTS
Garbiñe Muguruza won her only previous meeting with Ekaterina Alexandrova at Wimbledon in 2017, 6-2, 6-4, en route to the title.
Muguruza’s last final appearance came in Monterrey last year – it was the only final she made during the season.
Alexandrova is aiming for just a second appearance in a WTA Tour final. She lost her previous visit to the last two against Camila Giorgi in Linz in 2018.
The Spaniard is aiming to break a five-match losing sequence against players in the Top 35 dating back to Roland Garros, when she beat Elina Svitolina in the last 32.
Elena Rybakina and Kristyna Pliskova have never met before.
Pliskova has a 1-4 career WTA Tour career record against players from Kazakhstan.
Rybakina, 20, reached her maiden career final in Bucharest last July and followed it up swiftly with a second in September at the Jiangxi Open. She is now aiming for her third.
