Simona halep advances to 2 round in roland garros 2016

PARIS, France 
simona halep made a confident start to her 2016 french open  challenge, swatting aside Nao Hibino in 45 minutes.

Three of Halep's last four Grand Slam appearances have ended with defeat to players ranked outside the Top 50, however there was never any danger of number four coming at the hands of Hibino.

Halep started confidently, breaking to love in the third game thanks to a smart backhand winner. The set was soon in the bag and when she fired away a forehand to break at the start of the second, the writing appeared on the wall.
