Definitely... both in red hot form. Cibulkova leads the H2H 3-1 but the only clay meeting between the two was won by Halep.

Hard to call!

You must have read my mind. I was wondering about their H2H. Maybe a little advantage to your girl.

Last time Halep made the final at Madrid she made the final at RG,on clay I favor Halep.

 

[britbox]

My head says Halep but heart says Pocket Rocket. Both were superb yesterday and Dominika has had to grind out some tough wins here before the semis, so should be a good match.

No.6 seed Simona Halep capped off a dominating week in the Spanish capital, conquering Dominika Cibukova 6-2, 6-4 to claim the Mutua Madrid Open crown and her first title of 2016.

Congratulations to Halep!

Well done for Ms Halep... I had a feeling she'd do it, but still a great week for the Pocket Rocket. She should be ranked #26 on Monday, so has moved up 40 places since she was #66 in January. She's a Top 20 player in my eyes, so I think she has more to climb.

 

[Billie]

Yeah, that's a nice climb for Domi. I also think that she can get into top 20.
