FEZ, Morocco (AP) — Romanian teenager Simona Halep has reached her first WTA Tour final by beating Renata Voracova of the Czech Republic 7-5, 6-4 at the Grand Prix SAR.
The 18-year-old Halep pressured Voracova’s service games to win more than half of her return points even though the Czech landed 81 percent of her first serves and hit only one double-fault Friday.
Halep will next play the winner of the semifinal between Alize Cornet of France and Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic.
