WTA Shot Of The Month: Halep

WTA Shot Of The Month: Halep

  • Posted: Jan 01, 1970

In the end it was Simona Halep who turned thrilling defense into stirring offense on Daria Gavrilova at the Rogers Cup.

Playing her first hardcourt match since the Miami Open, Halep turned around what looked like an unwinnable point against the young Aussie, who was forced to hit one (or two or three) extra shots before finally succumbing to a fast-advancing Halep.
