The world number 127, who has not dropped a set in the tournament, said she was surprised by the ease of the victory and by how well she has been playing in the BMW Malaysian Open.
“I expected a tough match but and I’m surprised it wasn’t,” said Pliskova, who turns 21 on March 21. “I’ve been better in other tournaments but the results were not as good as this. I’m excited to play in my first final and can’t wait to see who I’ll be playing.
“I’m quite surprised I have yet to drop a set but I did tell myself I must finish the matches off quickly as the weather is really tough,” the Czech Republic player added.
