PLISKOVA 3-6, 2-6 MUGURUZA
A comprehensive victory for the former French Open champion, 6-3, 6-2. Muguruza brought up three match points with an ace down the T and then claimed the first of them with a clean forehand winner, and that sums up how this match went for the number 11 seed who is looking strong.

PLISKOVA 2-5 MUGURUZA* (3-6)
After the change of ends, Muguruza will serve for a place in the third round. That was another poor service game from Pliskova who served a double fault at deuce and then gave up the break point with a wayward forehand into the tramlines under very little pressure.

PLISKOVA 2-3 MUGURUZA* (3-6)
Muguruza has been fighting for the break of serve in this second set and now she has it. The finishing line is coming into sight for the number 11 seed. Pliskova is trying to shorten the points, but her range has been off this afternoon.

PLISKOVA 3-6 MUGURUZA
The number 11 seed and former French Open champion Muguruza claims the first set and does it in spectacular style with a stunning lob over Pliskova who has been out-powered and out-classed so far.

PLISKOVA 2-2 MUGURUZA*
A good response from Muguruza who breaks back immediately after being broken herself. This is shaping up to be quite a tussle, with Pliskova saving two break points before Muguruza took the third one.

*PLISKOVA 2-1 MUGURUZA
The number 11 seed has a task on her hands here, with Pliskova grabbing the first break of the match in the third game. The Czech has settled nicely into this match. Of course, we all know how quickly Muguruza can swing.
