Anett Kontaveit has beaten Rebecca Peterson to reach the final of the Transylvanian Open. |
Kontaveit, who won the Kremlin Cup in Moscow last week,
extended her winning streak to nine matches by beating Rebecca Peterson of
Sweden 6-3, 6-2 .
Halep had to hold off a break point in the opening game but
was in full control afterward, only conceding the first game of the second set
when the 55th-ranked Kostyuk managed to hold serve.
The top-seeded Romanian is 3-0 against second-seeded
Kontaveit and didn’t drop a set in those matches, including a 6-1, 6-1 win in
the quarterfinals of last year’s Australian Open.
Halep, who is seeking her 23rd WTA title, has won a
tournament in Romania twice before — in Bucharest on clay in 2014 and ’16.
Kontaveit has won three tournaments this season, and four
overall.
