The third placed Simona Halep recorded a victory in three sets in the final match of the evening program of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. The Romanian won with 6: 1, 3: 6, 6: 1 over Varvara Lepchenko, which represents the United States in order to qualify for the fourth round of the category "Prime binding".
After a perfect first part Halep reduced the speed and the left-handed Lepchenko quickly has lead with 4: 1, and then levelled the parts. But in the third set winner of the Tournament of champions in Sofia in 2013 was imperative and took second victory in three sets.
The uncertainty of Simona from time to time is probably due to her mental state after the news of the suicide of her first cousin. Halep admitted that initially she has thought to retire, but then decided to continue. She dedicated her first success in the tournament of his memory.
In the next round the Romanian will release against the No14 Karolina Pliskova in, a repeat of the finals in Dubai two weeks ago, won by Simona. The Slovakian defeated over the 19th placed Garbin Mugurusa from Spain with 7: 5, 6: 4, having achieved one break in each set.

Bachinski was losing a set and a break in the second, but then levelled and won the part.
