Seeds

As Simona Halep lost a lot of points in Madrid she might lose her no 1 ranking if she does not defend her points in Rome. Last year she was a finalist.

FINALISTS:

Simona Halep (Romania) and Elina Svitolina (Ukraine)

This was a repeat of the last year's final, and the outcome was the same. Simona Halep was not able to regian her shape from the previous match with Sharapova. Svitolina played a perfect game and Halep failed to find a way she can beat her. It seemed Svitolina had no weak points in this final. After a shock loss in the first set, 6 to 0, Halep kind of started playing better but it was not enough. The second set ended 6-4, and the trophy went again to the Ukrainean.
