Halep (26 of age), the winner of this year's Roland Garros defeated her 24-year opponent, WTA's 126, in 1 hour and 16 minutes of playing.
Simona Halep won a cheque worth GBP 100,000 and 130 WTA points for her performance so far in this competition, with her next opponent to be Taiwanese Su-Wei Hsieh (32, WTA's 48), who defeated Spaniard Lara Arruabarrena in the second round, 6-3, 6-3.
