Bencic wins Toronto title

Swiss teen Belinda Bencic outlasted Simona Halep to win Sunday's WTA Rogers Cup final when the Romanian second seed retired trailing 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (4/7), 3-0.

Bencic, who upset world number one Serena Williams in the semifinals, broke twice to open the third set before the effort of battling in extreme heat and humidity proved more than Halep could take.

The Swiss 18-year-old has won 21 of her last 25 matches and defeated four top-10 foes this week, improving to 6-1 this year against such high-ranked rivals.

"I don't think I'm so good at speeches yet," Bencic said.
