- In the quarterfinals, Halep will duel with match winner Elena Rybakina (21, 18 WTA) – Yulia Putintseva (25, 30 WTA)
Halep started the match hesitantly, adopting a cautious game against Dayana Yastremska, one of the new “top” generations of women’s tennis. And the start of the match stoked fears from Halep fans. The Ukrainian quickly made it 3-0, thanks to aggressive, fast tennis, pulled in places, a style that always bothered Halep.
From that moment, the number two in the world began to vary the game more and show more calm in the construction of points. He walked his opponent across the field and did not give him the gifts he had given him at the beginning of the game.. Halep not only drew, but continued to dominate the game. He took the lead, served extremely solidly, and took advantage of every quiet moment of the opponent.
It was 7-5 in Halep’s favor after a great set of fights, in which our player had to seriously sweat to quickly regain the advantage gained by Yastremska.
The second set was left to Simona’s discretion. The former Roland Garros champion quickly made two breaks and handled with great maturity the moments in which the Ukrainian tried to return. 7-5, 6-4 in favor of Halep, who is set for another great tour in Rome.

⇒3-3, play Halep: Here comes the third consecutive game for Simona, who draws after being led 0-3. The Romanian began to have more patience in the construction of points, but also took advantage of the risky game of the Ukrainian.
⇒ 2-3, Break Halep! Without putting too much effort, Simona Halep regains her lost rest earlier. Our player won to zero at the service of the rival, whose tactic of hitting each ball hard has not worked in the last two games.
⇒ 1-3, Halep game! Simona needed the peace of mind that this range offers her! The Romanian prevails at 15, taking advantage of some mistakes from the rival, and scores for the first time on the table in this match.
⇒ 0-3, I play Yastremska! Simona’s attempts to get Yastremska into trouble are too timid. Our player strikes briefly and allows the opponent to show off one of his main weapons: the backhand. In this game alone, Dayana made two such direct winners, to which Halep found no response.
⇒ 0-2, Break Yastremska! Simona loses her job after a match in which the Ukrainian was the one who dictated the rhythm of the points. She injected a lot of force into her punches and pushed the Romanian far behind the baseline. Furthermore, Halep’s serve did not perform well either: she made two double errors, which jeopardized her chances in the game.
⇒ 0-1, I play Yastremska! First game played, in which Simona tried to go back as deep as possible and annoy her opponent on the return. The Ukrainian began attacking aggressively from the start of the match, forcing Halep to make a mistake.
⇒ The game has started! Yastremska won the draw and chose to serve!
⇒ The two players went out to warm up, and the match will start soon!
