Simona Halep, last Romanian standing in WTA Madrid semifinals

Of the four Romanian tennis players who qualified for the Quarterfinals in the WTA Madrid tour, Simona Halep is the only one going forward to the semifinals.

After winning against co-national Irina Begu (6-3, 0-6, 6-1), Halep is to meet Austrian veteran Samantha Stosur, WTA 23rd. Halep was the highest ranked woman left in the tournament as of the quarterfinals – and the only seed.

Stosur won against Patricia Tig (6-3, 6-4) in the quarter finals. In a meeting earlier in Halep’s career the Australian dominated, but in her breakout 2013 season the latter won all three of their meetings.
