Wimbledon: Simona Halep beats Amanda Anisimova to reach semi-finals

Simona Halep continued her revival as she reached the Wimbledon semi-finals with a quick win.

Last year Halep was close to quitting the sport because of an injury, but he is now one win away from another SW19 final.

The 20th seed was beaten by Halep in one hour and three minutes.

The two-time Grand Slam champion will play the winner of the Australia-Kazabek match.

Halep said that it was great to be back in the semi-finals.

Since winning here, I'm playing the best tennis. Right now, I'm building that confidence back.

Halep, who won her first major title at the French Open, has breezed through her first five matches at the All England Club, not dropping a set or spending more than six hours on court.

A routine victory was halted when Anisimova claimed one of two breaks back for her to win the second set and take a 2-0 lead in the match.

The 20-year-old had three more break points at 0-40 after holding serve.

After taking care of her service game, Halep reached her first major semi- final since the Australian Open.

She said that she needed her serve at love-40.
