Italian Open 2020: Simona Halep reaches Rome semi-finals after Yulia Putintseva retires

Firstpost  

Halep was ahead 6-2, 2-0 when Putintseva decided she was in too much pain to continue - having already taken an off-court medical timeout between sets. Rome: Top-seeded Simona Halep became the first semifinalist at the Italian Open when Kazakh opponent Yulia Putintseva retired midway through their match due to a lower back injury Saturday. Putintseva also reached the US Open quarterfinals in her previous tournament, while Halep decided to skip the event in New York due to coronavirus travel concerns. Halep, who lost two straight finals in Rome to Elina Svitolina in 2017 and 2018, will need to beat two-time Grand Slam winner Garbiñe Muguruza or US Open runner-up Victoria Azarenka to return to the final.
