[ad_1]
The strong American heat or a simple virus? No one knows but Simona Halep gave up at the start of the second set against Russian Anna Kalinskaya, 71st in the world, when she was trailing 7-5 2-0.
The Wimbledon semi-finalist had however fought in the first set to erase a double break behind and come back from 0-4 to 5-5. A new disappointment for the 30-year-old Romanian, trained by Patrick Mouratoglou, who has been accumulating small physical glitches since last season.
In the next round, the 23-year-old will face the winner of the match between China’s Lin Zhu and Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi, seeded number 6 in this WTA 250 tournament on Washington’s hard court.
