Revenge successful for Simona Halep!

Simona Halep managed to take revenge for the defeat against Iga Swiatek at the 2020 French Open: The Romanian prevailed in the round of 16 of the Australian Open with 3: 6, 6: 1 and 6: 4. Now it's against Serena Williams, who was also able to assert herself in three sets against Aryna Sabalenka. Swiatek started out extremely aggressively, but could not maintain her high pace for the entire season.

Against Serena Williams, Simona Halep won the last big match: in the final of Wimbledon 2019.

The second quarter-finals in the lower half are played by Naomi Osaka and Su-Wei Hsieh. Osaka had to fend off two match points against Garbine Muguruza , Hsieh had no problems against Marketa Vondrousova.
