Simona Halep ended Beatriz Haddad Maia’s dream run in Toronto with a hard-fought 6–3, 2–6, 6–3 victory to claim her third Canadian Open title on Sunday.
Halep’s serving woes from her semifinal win carried over at the outset of the final as she produced four double faults and was broken in the opening game before quickly falling 3–0 behind.
