one Simona Halep and win the Cincinnati Masters on Sunday.
Bertens, who is 26
and ranked world number 17, lost the first set 2-6 but went on to win the the
next two sets 7-6 (8-6) 6-2 in just over two hours.
‘Unbelievable moment,
winning my first hard court title against the world number 1‘ Bertens said on
Instagram after the match. She is the the first Dutch winner at a singles
WTA/ATP hard court tournament since 2006.
