Simona Halep got her 3rd National Bank Open triumph but this one was the first one in Toronto and it makes it even more special.
Halep has had a lot of success in Canada before winning the event twice before this year. Both of those triumphs happened in Montreal which makes this one in Toronto even more special, which she admitted after the match:
"It makes it even more special because I really wanted to win it in Toronto as well. Here there are many Romanians and they always come to support me. So I'm really happy that I could also win here."
The win over Haddad Maia gave Halep her first big title in a while but it also allowed the Romanian to climb back into the top 10. It's been a while since she was last ranked inside the top 10 and to her this is a big deal as she explained:
"I feel like it's a big deal to be back in the Top 10. When I started the year I was not very confident and I set the goal to be, at the end of the year, Top 10. And here I am. So it's a very special moment. I will enjoy it. I will give myself credit. I'm just dreaming for more."
