Halep’s defeat rolls Garcia into Singapore semifinals

Caroline Garcia brilliantly recovered from a first-set bagel and then a 1-3 deficit in the third set against Caroline Wozniacki to keep her hopes of a semifinal qualification alive and then the subsequent loss of Simona Halep to Elina Svitolina in the Red Group pushed the Frenchwoman into the last four of the 2017 BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global.

The sixth-seeded Wozniacki kicked off the first Friday’s match with a dominant display, as Garcia won just seven points in the first set, getting bageled by the brilliant Dane who has recorded a bagel set in each of her three round-robin matches.
