SINGAPORE — Simona Halep's roller-coaster season came to a welcome halt on Thursday when a crushing first set tie-breaker against Agnieszka Radwanska at the WTA Finals left the Romanian with nothing left to give.
Halep had led the Pole 5-1 in the tiebreaker of their final round robin clash only to lose the next six points and the set, with the 24-year-old Romanian collapsing in the second and only able to muster a single game.
"I was done. No energy anymore. I was tired," Halep told reporters. "I felt that I lost the chance to win the first set and probably I lost the chance to win the match in that moment.
