Benesova wins WTA Fes

Iveta Benesova beat Simona Halep 6-4 6-2 in the final of WTA Fes in Morocco.

Benesova lost to Halep in a first round match at WTA Marbella three weeks ago in what had been Halep's first match on the main circuit.

But there was no repeat this time as the experienced Czech left-hander thrashed the Romanian rookie in one hour 22 minutes, breaking her opponent's serve six times as she did so.
