“The fire is back,” she assured, sounding entirely pleased with her edge of huff. Yet she maintained afterward that an injection of passion was exactly what this match needed from her after dropping the opening set — the first set Halep had lost all week, and just 55 per cent on first serves went a long way toward explaining why. She survived a 10th double fault to consolidate at 4-2 and broke Pegula again at 5-2, but — stop me if you’ve heard this before — was broken in return, 5-3, when serving for the match. Rackets were abused on either side of the net in the first semi, as both players were visibly upset by their level of play — which in fact left quite a lot to be desired at this stage of a premier tournament, a match that sometimes resembled a messy car crash on the 401.

Beatriz Haddad Maia reached her first career WTA 1000 final at the National Bank Open by beating Karolina Pliskova in straight sets.

In the tiebreak, both teams had their fair share of chances, but it was Melichar-Martinez and Perez who were, more often than not, able to get in the first strike, with Melichar converting the team’s first set point with a strong volley. In the tiebreak, Haddad Maia and Pliskova traded minibreaks, and the Czech had a set point at 7-6. With a double fault from Pliskova on match point, Haddad Maia moved into Sunday’s showpiece, much to the delight of the Brazilian contingent in Toronto.

Halep has won two of their first three meetings, but Haddad Maia came out on top in three sets when they met at the Birmingham Classic a couple of months ago.

The final of the WTA Toronto 1000 pits two of the most-improved players on tour in 2022.
