MASON, Ohio (AP) — Binigo ni Garbine Muguruza si Simona Halep para sa korona at sa tsansang masungkit ang world No.1 ranking nitong Linggo (Lunes sa Manila), 6-1, 6-0, sa Western & Southern Open.

“Honestly, I was thinking in her situation, it must be difficult,” pahayag ni Muguruza. “But I wanted to win the title as well.”

Sa men’s side, nakopo ni seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov ang unang ATP Masters title nang gapiin si Nick Kyrgios, 6-3, 7-5.

Nakamit ni Muguruza ang unang titulo sa US at ikalawa ngayong taon matapos magbida sa Wimbledon.

Goodbye PBA? John Amores, tinanggalan na ng professional license!

“The tough matches never go my way, so I want to change that. I want to find the recipe this year,” aniya.

Nakapanghihinayang ang kampanya ni Halep — nabigo sa ikatlong pagkakataon na makuha ang No.1 ranking – matapos ang dismayadong laro sa French Open at Wimbledon.

“Maybe I feel the pressure and I don’t realize it,” pahayag ni Halep.

“Maybe I just played bad. I don’t know what to say. But it’s still there. I still have a chance, so I will work for it and maybe one day it will be there.”
