Meanwhile
Agnieszka Radwańska
enjoyed a 63 64 win over Romania’s Simona Halep. Prior to this
match Radwanska has produced encouraging wins over recent Doha
finalist Alize Cornet and world number 8 Jelena Jankovic. In the 85
minuet match Radwanska was only broken twice and produced 72% of
first serves in. Halep can however still leave Indian Wells feeling
very happy as she will be ranked in the top five on Monday for the
first time in her career. This will also make her the first Romanian
woman in History to reach the top 5 in the WTA rankings.
The
final will be the eighth time both players have met. They have
already played each other twice this year with each winning a match.
Radwanska won 62 62 at the Hopman cup and Pennetta won in Dubai 64
61. A full list of their previous matches are the following:-
