Karolina Pliskova advances to final in Huajin 2015

Pliskova broke four times to romp home, 6-3, 6-1. 
 Pliskova set the tone on the opening point, confidently guiding a tricky volley into the open court for a winner. Three points later, she was displaying the other side of her game, thumping a backhand down the line to secure an immediate break. With the Czech's own delivery imperious - winning 92% of first serve points - she had no problems keeping Svitolina at arm's length, before striking once again in the final game of the set. 
 The second was even more one-sided. Once again Pliskova surged in front almost immediately, breaking for a 3-1 lead after outmaneuvering her increasingly flustered opponent. A quarter of an hour later she arrived at match point, conjuring up another delightful touch at the net to secure her place in the final.
