Recall that Belgian Justine Henin is a former world number one and seven-time Grand Slam winner.
Note that Simona Halep reached the final of the Toronto tournament by beating the American Jessica Pegula (2:6, 6:3, 6:4). In the final, the Romanian will meet the winner of the world’s first racket Igi Sventek – Brazilian tennis player Beatriz Haddad-Maia.
