Easy stuff for Simona Halep that wins a rather “smooth” title in Madrid. The Romania won the tournament after dismissing Dominika Cibulkova 6-2 6-4 in the final. The path to the title was even too easy for Simona Halep as all top players clashed early in the tournament. Simona had to beat Misaki Doi (world no.43), Karin Knapp (no. 75), Timea Bacsinszky (no.15), Irina Begu (no.34), Stosur (23), Dominika Cibulkova (no.38).
Halep. I was very strong on my legs
Simona commented “I expected a tough match today. I thought that I would struggle a little bit with her shots, but I was very strong on my legs and could block. I could make my game, I can say.”
This is Simona’s 12th career title, the first after Indian Wells 2015.
