Simona Halep wins the title in Shenzhen

Simona Halep starts her 2018 in the best possible way after winning the title at the Shenzhen Open.

The final was a thriller also because after 6 hours of rain delay was moved indoors. Eventually, after a long wait, the world no.1 defeated the defending champion Katerina Siniakova 6-1 2-6 6-0 after a real roller coaster that ended after 72 minutes (that’s pretty quick for a 3-setter).

After this match the head to head between Halep and Siniakova is 1-all.

This is Simona’s 16th career title and it’s a huge confidence boost for the upcoming Australian Open.

The Romanian is also in the final in doubles partnering with her friend and compatriot Irina-Camelia Begu.

Yes, that’s a rather good start of the season.
