Wimbledon 2022: Simon Halep Beaten But Not Broken After Defeat in Semifinals

News 18  

LONDON: Former Wimbledon champion Simona Halep felt her feeble serve let her down in her defeat by Kazakh Elena Rybakina in Thursday’s one-sided semi-final but the former world number one said the grasscourt swing gave her the confidence to keep working hard. However, the Russian-born Rybakina broke Halep’s serve four times on Centre Court, with the 2019 champion dishing out nine double faults and managing to get only just over half of her first serves in during the 6-3 6-3 hammering. “Serve a little bit better," a smiling Halep said, when asked what she could have done better against Rybakina. Before making the semi-finals at the All England Club on her return to the tournament for the first time since lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish in 2019, Halep had reached the last four stage at Bad Homburg and Birmingham in tune-up events on grass.
