The top seed Konta disposed of France's Caroline Garcia in just over an hour.
Britain's Johanna Konta and Czech Petra Kvitova secured the last two semi-final slots in the $2.2 million WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai, China, on Friday.
Top
seed Konta, who will be the first Briton to finish a WTA season in the
top 10 since 1983, disposed of France's Caroline Garcia 6-2, 6-2 in just
over an hour.
The 25-year-old, who won
her first WTA title at the Stanford Classic earlier this year and
reached the China Open final in Beijing last month, only lost 10 points
on her own serve.
In an all-Czech
showdown, third seed Kvitova beat compatriot Barbora Strycova -- with
whom she will team up in next week's Fed Cup -- 6-1, 6-4 to qualify for
the next stage.
Russian Elena Vesnina and
Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands were facing off later in the final
match of the round-robin section of the tournament, but neither could
reach the semi-finals
.
