As per the scenario, the late-bloomer Kontaveit will confirm a semifinal spot if she wins against Pliskova in straight sets. Additionally, she will also make it into the top four if she and Krejcikova both win. But in this case, the Spaniard Muguruza would get eliminated.
Similarly, if former World No.1’s Pliskova and Muguruza win, the reigning French Open champion Krejcikova would get eliminated. Moreover, Krejcikova would also get eliminated if she loses in straight sets despite Pliskova not winning.
