–
Bianca Andreescu was looking for her first career grass-court title.
And she had a nice advantage in that she didn’t have to play Friday; Simona Halep gave her a walkover.
Meanwhile, opponent Caroline Garcia had a gruelling three-setter to eliminate countrywoman Alizé Cornet.
But Garcia was able to find the energy for another gruelling three-setter, defeating Andreescu to win the title.
