This time, Simona Halep did not miss anything

This time Simona Halep saved herself from any drama: Against Alja Tomljanovich, the Romanian was just about to end and made a remarkable comeback in the third set. In the third round Halep won 6: 1 and 6: 3 against Veronika Kudermetova. And in the round of 16 she plays either against Iga Swiatek or Fiona Ferro.

Previously, Naomi Osaka had made it into the round of 16 perfectly with a 6: 3 and 6: 2 against Ons Jabeur. However, the result turned out to be clearer than the course of the game. Osaka, who won the Australian Open 2019, now have to face Garbine Muguruza. The Spaniard made another strong impression in the 6: 1, 6: 1 against Zarina Diyas.

The second hit match in the round of 16 will be played by Serena Williams against Aryna Sabalenka. Williams had big problems in the 7: 6 (5) and 6: 2 against Anastasia Potapova in the first set. Sabalenka beat Ann Li in exactly 60 minutes with 6: 1 and 6: 3.
