Simona Halep said she was too excited to sleep the night after ousting Garbine Muguruza as the World No. 1, and that affected her performance yesterday when she lost the China Open final to France's Caroline Garcia 6-4, 7-6 (7/3). She refused to let her final defeat spoil her week and admitted it had been an emotional 24 hours.

"I couldn't sleep very well. In the morning, I was like, okay, now I have to focus again, to go on court and work, which I did. It was very good (getting to the top ranking). It was a very good step, important step. But still inside I was too happy. It was too much yesterday. My body was just sore after the match. Even if was not three sets or something like that, I just felt a little bit over inside because of the happiness."
