TORONTO, Canada – Things got very, very close in the end, but Simona Halep willed herself pastSara Errani to become the first player to reach the final of the $2,513,000 Rogers Cup in Toronto.
There was very little between them – for an hour and 35 grueling minutes on center court Halep and Errani put on a dazzling display of baseline tennis, showing off their rock solid groundstrokes and chasing down just about everything they could. And Errani had her moments – she went up 2-0 right out of the gates, with points for 3-0, and after Halep was just moments away from closing the match out up 6-4, 4-2, Errani clawed back to 4-all. She even saved three match points when she was down 6-4, 5-4.
But in the end the No.2-seeded Romanian finally closed out the No.15-seeded Italian, 6-4, 6-4.
Muy apretada resulto la primera semifinal de la Rogers Cup y la Rumana Simona Halep se convierte en la primera finalista con triunfo sobre la Italiana Sara Errani buscando un titulo que ademas entrega 2 millones 513 mil dolares de premio…
el partido muy parejo se definio despues de una hora y 35 minutos para un 6-4 y 6-4 en el que la Rumana Preclasificada 2 se impuso a la numero 15 y ahora publicamente ha dicho que le gustaria una final contra Serena Williams…cosa que no se dio.
