Ireland Authentic . Halep claimed the title in Canada on her second
try, one year after heat stroke forced her to retire from the final in Toronto.I
like being here in Montreal at lot, said Halep, seeded fifth and set to jump to
No. 3 in the world. With all the Romanians, I felt like at home. Many people
were coming every day. It was an amazing atmosphere down there. The man that
announced us on the court said two words in Romanian, so that motivated me a
lot.Halep has three singles titles this year and 14 overall. She has won nine
consecutive matches, including a victory at her home tournament two weeks ago.
She called the Bucharest event a small tournament that nonetheless showed she
was playing strong tennis.Halep later played in the doubles final, teaming with
compatriot Monica Niculescu in a 6-3, 7-6 (5) loss to Russians Ekaterina
Makarova and Elena Vesnina. Halep was attempting to become the first to sweep
the titles at the Rogers Cup since Martina Hingis in 2000.Halep was not the only
Romanian athlete in the spotlight of late. She arrived last week in time to take
part in the 40th anniversary of the 1976 Montreal Olympics. The star guest was
Nadia Comaneci, the Romanian who dazzled the Games with the first perfect 10 in
Olympic gymnastics history.When I arrived here first day, I went to that big
event for her, Halep said. It motivated me a bit. It feels nice that 40 years
later I won here in Montreal. Its a nice thing for Romanians. Im happy that I
could do it.Halep outlasted the 10th-seeded Keys in a messy first set and
dominated the second in a 1-hour, 16-minute hardcourt match in warm, sunny
weather.Keys has the more powerful serve, but the 21-year-old struggled to get
in her first attempts. That played to Haleps strength as a strong rallier and
baseline player. Keys repeatedly ended rallies with shots into the net as Halep
patiently kept the ball in play.I dont think I was serving as well, Keys said. I
think it was just a matter of close points here or there.That was really the
whole match. I was starting to press a little bit. There were some times when I
maybe could have taken a step back and hit a safer ball. I was just going for
some shots too early.Keys will climb to ninth in the world, matching her career
best. She beat Venus Williams in the third round of the Rogers Cup.I think I
played really a pretty good tournament, said Keys, set to play in the Rio
Olympics.Halep opted not to go to Rio de Janeiro, so she plans to relax and
celebrate for a few days and then prepare for her next WTA event in Cincinnati.
