TORONTO — Second seed Simona Halep shook off the rust and her Wimbledon disappointment, storming into the third round of the Rogers Cup on Wednesday with a commanding 6-3 6-4 win over former world number one Jelena Jankovic.
Following a month off since her last competitive match, Halep looked sharp as she opened the North American hardcourt swing by reaching the third round in Canada for the first time.
The 23-year-old Romanian was in complete control on a blustery day, not allowing Jankovic a break chance in the opening set and then saving all three break points in the second.
