Halep Beats Sevastova In Quest To Win Title

Cincinnati(August 18, 2017): Second-ranked Simona Halep charged closer to taking the world number one ranking, beating Latvian 15th seed Anastasija Sevastova 6-4, 6-3 to reach the WTA and ATP Cincinnati Masters quarter-finals.

Romania’s Halep, a French Open runner-up for the second time in June, can overtake top-ranked Czech defending champion Karolina Pliskova by winning the title in the final major tuneup for the US Open.

Pliskova, who faces Italian qualifier Camila Giorgi in a later third-round match, must also fight off Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina, who won her fifth WTA title of the year last week in Toronto to reach a career-high fourth in the rankings. Svitolina faces Germany’s Julia Goerges later.
