Score: 7(8)-6(6) , 3-6 , 6-4

Highlights of the match here

In a remake of the 2018 Roland Garros final these two players met again, this time playing even a better tennis, and showing the world why they are th best in the world! Stephens had more winners (and what winners!) and less errors, but somehow Halep's points came at the right moment and turned her into a champion. It might easily become the best women's tennis match of the year. Watch the highlights if not convinced ^^!

 WINNER 

Simona Halep (Romania) 

Simona first won this tournament 2 years ago, in 2016. With this title she stays at the top of the WTA ranking and if she continues in this way she may become the year-end No 1 once again. Good luck!

Score: 6-1 6-0

HIGHLIGHTS (YOUTUBE LINK)

 WINNER  

Mihaela Buzarnescuhas been playing great in 2018 and also lost some finals.  This is the first singles WTA title in her career, a career which is close to the end. When she received the trofee at the end of the match she told Sakkari to enjoy her tennis career as she is young and has a lot of possible tournaments to win from now on. 'As for me, maybe I can play two more years and then I have to tep down.' Mihaela was never able to show and grow her true talent due to numerous injuries in the past, which makes this trofee even more special. Her fellow Romanian, world no 1 Simona Halep posted a congratulatory message on her twitter 'I am so happy for you, Miki! Welcome to WTA Top 20'. Mihaela's dream was to enter Top 20 one day, and that happened here, in California.
