Two-time Grand Slam winner Garbine Muguruza crushed Marketa Vondrousova for the loss of just one game on Saturday to set up a Yarra Valley Classic final with World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty.

Last year's Australian Open finalist Muguruza smashed 20 winners and broke the 21st-ranked Vondrousova's serve five times en route to a 6-1, 6-0 win in 53 minutes. She has shown the form that put her atop the rankings in 2017, dropping just 10 games in four matches so far including her quarterfinal thrashing of Sofia Kenin — her conqueror in last year's Australian Open final.
