Simona Halep and Maria Sharapova will be facing each other for the ninth time in their careers when they clash in the semifinals of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia on Saturday. Sharapova leads the head-to-head series 7-1, but Halep won their most recent meeting. […]
There is nothing that can be said to console Simona Halep following her latest loss in a Grand Slam final. Only something that transpires on the court at some point in the future can take care of that (see: the French Open in four months, perhaps).
