What's really sad is Simona won this title after a magnificent effort from Mlad. Why is Nastase giving the trophy to a Romanian winner when he was put out of his own stadium in Romania? Add in the fact that Tiriac really likes and supports Simona. :cover
Too late to begin a controversy? I just read that Ilie Nastase was on the podium for the awarding of the women's trophy. Yes, it was Halep, a Romanian, but the tournament owner, Ian Tiriac, also a Romanian, seemed to be putting it up the nose of the WTA. And their CEO has complained. http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2017...statement-ilie-nastase-madrid-ceremony/66029/
