Serena Williams wins second Cincinnati title
Cincinnati: Serena Williams reasserted her World No.1 status by beating Romania’s Simona Halep 6-3,7-6 (3) to win the Cincinnati Masters for the second time here.
With the win the American now has won 15 consecutive finals. She needed an hour and 39 minutes long game to win on Sunday, reports Efe.
In 2013, Williams had lost the Cincinnati title to the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka.
This year, she won five out of seven matches against Halep, who had earlier defeated her at the Indian Wells.
Williams adds her Cincinnati title to her other wins this season at Melbourne, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Miami.
The No.1’s determination and service crashed Halep’s hopes and although she dominated the start of each game, the Romanian World No. 3 failed to match up to her rival, who also won the final tie-breaker.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
