Evans was a favourite of fans but not coach Jason Kidd, who used him in just 30 of their 51 games.SINGAPORE - The lead-up to Sundays championship match at the WTA Finals suggested Serena Williams would face a major challenge to beat Simona Halep, but then, the No. 1-ranked player has made a career out of performing at her best when it matters most.She did it again in Singapore, dispatching Halep 6-3, 6-0 just four days after a group-stage game between the pair in which the Romanian player dropped only two games and handed Williams her heaviest defeat for 16 years.Coming into the tournament after having to withdraw from the China Open and Wuhan Open with illness and a knee injury, and just a day after a grueling three-set classic against Caroline Wozniacki, there was plenty of reasons to believe the 33-year-old could be vulnerable.The doubts, though, were quickly swept aside as Williams overpowered her opponent in an imperious performance.She won 11 of the last 12 games in the match to join Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf as the only players to have won five titles in the season-ending championships.I just started training, because I had such a bad knee in Beijing I didnt know if Id be able to play here, and now I have won the Billie-Jean King trophy — I am so excited, Williams said.Williams changed her approach from the group-stage contest, attacking Haleps second serve with fierce ground strokes, and regularly rushing the net to cut the points short and prevent her opponent from playing her preferred style.I had to play more Serena-style tennis and just do what I do best, Williams said.I was expecting a much better player than I was in the earlier round. Being ready for that really was able to help me out.Haleps run in this tournament capped a remarkable rise, having gone from No. 64 in the rankings to No.4 in the course of 17 months, with a French Open final appearance along the way.However, her relative lack of experiennce of big occasions compared to the 18-time Grand Slam champion proved telling. Pittsburgh Penguins Gear. I was nervous before the match that I had to play this big final, Halep said. I couldnt manage very well the situation.I knew that she would be more motivated during this match because we played a few days ago and I won.The irony of Sundays match was that Halep had it within her power to deny Williams a place in the final. Halep went into her final group-stage game knowing that if she lost in straight sets, Ana Ivanovic would go into the semifinals at Williams expense. Instead, Halep lost in three and Williams made it in.I have no regrets because I did my job on court against Ivanovic, Halep said. That was the chance but she deserves to win the title. Shes much better.Williams said she would have done the same thing if in Haleps shoes, namely try to win the group game despite the temptation of knocking out her most dangerous rival.No one on the tour thinks like that, Williams said. She definitely gives her all so I dont think that went through her mind at all.Halep got the first break of the match in the third game and was up 40-0 on serve in the next and looked capable of repeating the surprise 6-0, 6-2 victory over Williams on Wednesday. However, Williams broke back in that fourth game and the course of the match was changed.Halep won only three points fewer than Williams in the opening set but clinched just seven points in the entire second set — including only two on return. The set was over in just 25 minutes.Haleps victory in the group stage ended Williams 16-game winning streak at the WTA Finals, but the American built her career win-loss record in the championships that feature the top eight players to 29 wins and five losses. Williams also retained the season-end top ranking, taking that honour for the fourth time. ' ' ' |
