Coco Gauff ruthlessly dismantled Karolina Muchova to reach the final of the Miami Open.
Muchova actually took a break to win the opening game but from then it became a struggle for the Czech player to so much as register a game on the board.
Enjoying a home tournament in Florida, Gauff would not be denied. She stormed to victory in straight sets, winning 6-1 6-1 as she closed the match out with yet another break of serve.
It was her first straight-sets victory in this tournament with Gauff hitting her stride now in the late stages of the competition.
"It feels great to be at home," Gauff told Your Site Tennis. "Today I was able to find that good balance of mixing it up.
"When I stepped on court today I felt like it was going to be a really strong match.
"I was just trying to fight for every point and we ended up with the scoreline."
Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka eased past Elena Rybakina 6-4 6-3 on Thursday to book a Miami Open final against Coco Gauff as the world No 1 bids to become the fifth woman to complete the 'Sunshine Double' after her title win at Indian Wells.
Sabalenka took full advantage of a series of errors from Rybakina to win the opening set, and the four-time Grand Slam champion then raced ahead 4-0 in the second.
World No 2 Rybakina, who beat the Belarusian in the Australian Open final in January, clawed her way back into the match but Sabalenka shut the door to wrap up a comfortable win.
"I really enjoy our rivalry, she's an incredible player," said Sabalenka. "I did everything right, she played great but I pushed her so much."
Gauff will face Sabalenka on Saturday in their 13th career meeting, the pair having split the previous 12.
The American got the better of Sabalenka in last year's French Open final but the world No 1 got the win in their most recent meeting at the WTA Finals.
