Simona Halep made a winning start to her WTA Finals campaign with an impressive 6-4 6-2 victory over Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia on Monday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The Romanian surged clear in the second set to subdue her in-form opponent in the match.
The second Red Group match of the day was a completely one-sided affair when Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki blew away Elina Svitolina 6-2 6-0 in less than an hour. It helped her gain revenge for two finals defeats against the Ukrainian this season.
Garcia was the last woman to qualify for the elite eight-woman event when the 24-year-old won back-to-back titles in China. But her tournament debut ended in defeat when world number one Halep halted her 11-match winning run in emphatic fashion.
