Simona Halep swatted Paula Badosa aside in an hour 6-1, 6-2 to create a mouth-watering Wimbledon quarter-final with Amanda Anismiova.

Her 6-2, 6-3 win over Tan was just as impressive as her hard-fought win over Gauff in the previous round. She even moved to the south of France and since then, has a renewed spring in her step. As she blitzed her way to victory, Mouratoglou was busy standing, fist pumping in familiar fashion. At the beginning of the year, she was considering hanging up her racket, disillusioned with the sport and wondering if it was really worth all the work to get back to the top. Her former coach Darren Cahill had urged her to spend some time there in the past, but she always held out. The Spaniard has rocketed up the rankings in the past year, winning the title in Indian Wells last October. Bold from the baseline, she had edged out two-times champion Petra Kvitova in a high-quality match in the previous round.

To have the belief if could be good again and at the top.’ I wasn't lucky enough. I tried my best. I think it wasn't my day today. Simona Halep had forgotten what winning looked and felt like. ‘Everything comes together,’ she said.

The 30-year-old Romanian saw off Spain's Paula Badosa in an hour on Centre Court.

“It means a lot that I’m back in a quarter-finals after I struggled so much with injuries and self-confidence,” said Halep. “I feel I have power on court.

Handed a difficult draw and given a cold shoulder by Wimbledon, the Romanian's thumping 6-1, 6-2 win against fourth seed Paula Badosa reminded everyone of ...

She was showing all the characteristics of a once-dominant player on the decline, something that had become a common occurrence on the women’s tour recently. It was Halep’s best result of the year and one that catapulted her as one of the favourites for the Wimbledon title this year. But her dominant displays have come as a surprise, given the state of her career over the past few years. The 2019 champion was not able to defend her title in 2020 after the tournament was cancelled due to COVID-19, and she did not play in 2021 due to a calf injury. After a few years of uncertainty and buildup marred by physical issues, it was presumed that the Romanian will not be up to the task at SW19 this year. So, her hotly anticipated first-round encounter against Karolina Muchova was relegated to the No. 1 Court, where she won with a statement-making score line of 6-3, 6-2.
