ROME: Top seed Simona Halep gave her French Open preparations a boost when she claimed the Italian Open here today after second seed Karolina Pliskova retired from the final with injury when she was down 0-6 1-2. Victory gave Halep her first title in Rome and her third consecutive title of the year after wins in Dubai — before the Covid-19 hiatus — and Prague last month. Pliskova attempted to continue playing after receiving treatment on her lower back and leg between sets but eventually decided to retire, not willing to take any chances before the French Open which begins on September 27.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
