Five of the best Madrid Open finals !
2016: Simona Halep defeated Dominika Cibulkova, 6-2, 6-4.
The Romanian world number seven, took both her break point opportunities in the first set while Slovakia’s Cibulkova missed all three of hers. One break was enough in the second set as Halep sealed victory with her third ace after one hour and 20 minutes.
Cibulkova had spent over 4 hours more than her opponent and fatigue got the best of her. She had won three of their four previous encounters but was unable to make an impression on the 24 year old, who has now won 12 WTA Tour titles. Halep finally made this title after her unsuccessful attempt in the 2014 finals.
