Anett Kontaveit powered past third-seeded Karolina Pliskova 6-4, 6-0 on Friday to lead the way into the semi-finals of the season-ending WTA Finals. The eighth-seeded Estonian notched her 12th straight WTA match win as she assured herself of finishing in the top two of her group in the round-robin phase. Kontaveit, whose win streak included titles at Moscow and Cluj-Napoca, had beaten French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova in her tournament opener.
She needed just 57 minutes to roar past Pliskova, winning 24 of her 29 first-service points and claiming the last eight games for her first career victory over the Czech in four meetings.
Group action continued later Friday with Krejcikova taking on Garbine Muguruza.
