MADRID: Wimbeldon finalist Garbine Muguruza and world number 11 Carla Suarez Navarro combined to give Spain a 2-0 lead over Italy in their Fed Cup World Group play-off in Lleida on Saturday.
After a tight first set, world number four Muguruza stormed past Francesca Schiavone 7-6 (7/4), 6-0 to put the hosts 1-0 up in the tie.
Suarez Navarro was even more convincing as she thrashed US Open runner-up Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-1 in little over an hour to leave Spain one win away from a return to the World Group after a two-year absence.
