"I knew if I wanted to win this I had to step it up in the third set. I really had some chances there and I didn't take them, and I let that get the better of me." "I could play better in those moments when I had chances but I think the level was pretty high," said Halep, the 2014 French Open runner-up. Williams has been in lethal form but after a second set lapse against Halep she will want to tighten up parts of her game. While Williams' serve has been on target, blasting 18 aces past Halep, she only managed to convert four of a whopping 20 break chances.
