Muguruza defeats gritty Mertens to advance to Dubai final

DUBAI: Garbine Muguruza advanced to the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships taking the first set in her semi-final with Elise Mertens 6-4, before closing the deal in a hard-fought second set tie-breaker 7-6 (7-5). Muguruza, the former world No.1, went 6-3 up in the breaker and finally closed out the win on her seventh match point with some brave play at the net. “It took me quite a few match points to close the match. She is a very talented player, always gives you an extra ball back. I’m just happy I could close it in two sets,” said the 27-year-old Muguruza.
