Katie Boulter's hopes of reaching the Birmingham Classic semi-finals ended in a straight-set loss to Simona Halep.
Boulter can take a lot of positives from her performances here, with the start of Wimbledon just 10 days away.
In the first round she claimed the biggest win of her career by ranking as she beat American Alison Riske for her first victory over a top-40 player.
She followed that up with a comfortable straight-set win over French former world number four Caroline Garcia.
But second seed Halep posed a challenge too far for the world number 141.
