I knew that she’s a great player and she's playing till the end without giving up. I had to fight. I’m a little bit dead but I have time tomorrow to recover. I’m really happy I finally won a match in the WTA Finals. 3.30pm GMT
Andreescu 6-3 6-7(6) 3-6 Halep: Simona Halep snatches a brilliant win in a gripping match. Andreescu was sublime for the first set, showing her full blinding arsenal of shots but that match was a measure of how tough Halep is to beat when she wants to these days. Many players can hit through her for a set and a bit, but can you do it across three sets?
You have to hope that Andreescu’s back is okay. Despite losing, the set she won bodes well for the rest of the round robin tournament.
