Former world number one Simona Halep reached her second Wimbledon semi-final aft...
LONDON - Former world number one Simona Halep reached her second Wimbledon semi-final after overcoming an early onslaught to deliver another textbook example of matchplay tennis and dispatch China’s unseeded Zhang Shuai 7-6 6-1 on Tuesday.
Seventh-seed Halep now faces Ukrainian eighth seed Elina Svitolina, who beat unseeded Czech Karolina Muchova in straight sets, as she bids to reach the final for the first time having lost to Eugenie Bouchard in the last four in 2014. Zhang, who won the pair’s last two meetings in 2016, is ranked 50th and has reached the quarter-finals in only one Grand Slam event - the 2016 Australian Open.
She clung on to get to a tiebreak but was well beaten in it and an early break in the second set put Halep 3-1 up.
