Simona resumes winning ways with triumph in Prague final

No.1 seed Simona Halep picked up where she left off six months ago, winning her second straight title with a 6-2, 7-5 defeat of No.3 seed Elise Mertens in the Prague Open final.

The Romanian has now collected trophies in both her last tournament before the WTA Tour shutdown, in Dubai in February, and her first tournament since its resumption, with this week extending her winning streak to nine matches and counting.

Afterwards, Halep was thrilled to have completed a victorious week amidst the new coronavirus-safe protocols of the tour’s resumption.
