Caroline Wozniacki ended Garbine Muguruza's honeymoon as world No. 1 in clinical fashion with a 6-2, 6-0 win on Saturday to book her place in the Toray Pan Pacific Open final against unseeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Wimbledon champion Muguruza went into this week's tournament in Tokyo fresh from becoming the first Spanish woman to top the rankings since Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in 1995, but ran into a determined figure in world No. 3 Wozniacki.
The Dane jumped straight on Muguruza to rack up a 3-0 lead in the first set at Ariake Colosseum, before allowing her opponent only six points in a second-set demolition to wrap up the match in exactly an hour.
