Halep Hustles Past Second Seed
Two-time champion Simona Halep put up another dazzling show in Madrid as she demolished the World no. 2 Paula Badosa in straight sets to move into the Round of 16.
Halep, who had dispatched China’s Shuai Zhang 6-2, 6-3 in an hour and 10 minutes in the first round on Thursday, needed an hour and 14 minutes to beat the second seed Spaniard 6-3, 6-1.
It was another convincing performance for the Romanian who won 84% points on the back of the first serve, saved six of seven break points and converted half of the 10 break points that she held in the match.
The win improved the 30-year-old’s season record to 17-4. She had picked up her 23rd WTA title by winning the Melbourne Summer Set 1 trophy. She also reached the final four stage in Dubai and Indian Wells, but is playing her first tournament since her Indian Wells exit, as she was nursing a leg injury.
Halep won back-to-back Madrid titles in 2016 and 2017 and was a finalist in 2014 and 2019. Last year, she was eliminated in the Round of 16.
The win was the World no. 21’s 29th main draw victory in Madrid, which puts her in second place in the history of the tournament, three behind Petra Kvitova, who is a three-time champion.
