German Angelique Kerber, fought hard for her second win as she defeated Romania's Simona Halep, 6-4, 6-2 in the Red Group of Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Finals here on Tuesday.

World No.1 Kerber, with the previous win over Slovak Dominika Cibulkova (7-6(5), 2-6, 6-3), is ahead in this group with 2-0, very close to reaching the semi-finals, something that can happen on Tuesday if Dominika defeats United States' Madison Keys, eliminating the latter, reports Efe.
