Li, the 2011 French Open champion and two-time Australian Open finalist, made 39 unforced errors, including four double faults, and allowed her 19-year-old opponent to battle back to 5-5 in the first set having led 5-1.
Even at 6-1 in the tiebreak Li faltered as 73rd-ranked Muguruza fought back to 6-6.
Li was more clinical in the second set breaking Muguruza two times for the victory.
