London: Simona Halep, the world No.18, appears to have picked up from where she left three-years ago when she hoisted the Venus Rosewater dish.
On Wednesday, the Romanian crushed the challenge of the 20-year-old Amanda Anisimova 6-2, 6-4 in her 63-minutes on Centre Court to extend her Wimbledon winning streak to 12 matches.
The 2019 champion couldn’t defend her title as the 2020 Champion ships were canceled due to Covid. She was then forced to withdraw with a calf injury last year, but the former No.1’s return to the site of her most spectacular triumph, has been magical. The 30-year-old hasn’t lost a set in five matches so far.
Halep’s year-end ranking of No. 20 last year was her poorest season-ending form since 2013 when she was ranked No. 11.
The Romanian said she was a different player today than she was when she had played her ‘perfect match’ in the title-round against Serena Williams three-years ago.
