Simona Halep won her third WTA title of 2016, beating Madison Keys, 7-6(2) 6-3 in Sunday's final at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. After winning the International tournament in Bucharest two weeks ago, Halep is now on a ten match winning streak.
Both players struggled to find their A-game in a messy opening set. There were eight breaks of serve with the set going to the tiebreak. Similar to their last encounter at Wimbledon, Halep twice failed to serve out the first set as she was broken to love on both occasions.
The match took a different turn this time round as Halep won the first set tiebreak, seven points to two.
