“I’m very happy, this was impossible for me,” said 20-year-old Snigur, as she fought back tears. “I’m very nervous, but I want to thank Simona for this great experience.” Snigur was treated to a standing ovation by the audience at Louis Armstrong Stadium. She has never competed in a grand slam tournament before.
The 30-year-old Halep, who came back from 5-2 to 5-4 in the third set, was considered an outsider for the title in New York. Two weeks ago, she won the major WTA tournament in Toronto.
Halep has already reached the finals at all Grand Slam tournaments, except at the US Open. In 2015, she reached the semi-finals.
