Simona Halep claimed a brilliant win in a gripping match against Bianca Andreescu 3.44pm GMT
That’s all from me today, but what a fun, physical first meeting that was between Halep and Andreescu. The youngster burst through and shone bright, but the veteran showed why she is where she is. Hopefully this is the first of many meetings between them.
I’ll be back tomorrow for Osaka-Barty and Kvitova-Bencic. Until then. 3.32pm GMT Simona Halep: It was a very tough match. 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.
