MARRAKESH, Morocco (AP) — Garbine Muguruza of Spain beat Shahar Peer of Israel 6-3, 6-1 to reach the Grand Prix SAR semifinals on Friday, while Romina Oprandi of Switzerland defeated third-seeded Yvonne Meusburger of Austria 6-4, 6-4. The fifth-seeded Muguruza won seven straight games against Peer to lead by a set and 5-0. The Spaniard is enjoying a breakthrough season, as she clinched her first WTA title in January at the Hobart International and finished runner-up at the Brazil Cup in March. Peer made five double faults and was able to hold serve only once. In the other quarterfinal, Oprandi rallied from a 3-0 deficit to lead 5-3 in the first set, and broke Meusburger for a 2-1 lead in the second. The Swiss reached her first semifinal since the Brussels Open in May 2013. Meusberger committed seven double faults and converted only one of five break points.Read more on NewsOK.com
