Tennis: Simona Halep defeats Serena Williams 6-0, 6-2 in Singapore WTA Finals

Romanian tennis player Simona Halep secured a sensational victory against world's No. 1 female tennis player, American Serena Williams 6-0, 6-2, in her second match at the WTA Finals in Singapore on Wednesday.

Halep, #4 in the world, scored the biggest win of her career in only 65 minutes, after losing the three matches previously played against Serena Williams.

Simona Halep, former #2 in the world, defeated Canadian player Eugenie Bouchard 6-2, 6-3 in the first match of the Red Group at the WTA Finals. The Romanian player has secured so far 460 WTA points and 406,000 dollars at this 6.5-million-dollar competition.

Williams has not lost 6-0 to anyone since 2008, when her sister Venus defeated her 5-7, 6-1, 6-0 at the WTA Finals in Qatar.
