 In a repeat of last year's final at the Foro Italico, Elina Svitolina (Ukraine), seeded fourth, was up against Halep a day after the Romanian top seed had ousted Russian Maria Sharapova.

But Simona Halep's hopes of overturning last year's defeat to her 23-year-old opponent quickly evaporated in a completely one-sided encounter that saw the Romanian fail to produce a real challenge.
Svitolina, the world number four, has now successfully defended three career titles, in Baku, Dubai and also Rome; she also won in Brisbane and Dubai this season to take her 2018 title total to three.

The win also marked Svitolina's 12th career title on what was her eighth final in succession.
