LONDON (Reuters): For almost 45 minutes, Simona Halep handed out a public flogging to a shell-shocked Amanda Anisimova in their Wimbledon quarter-final on Wednesday.
It was getting so bad for Anisimova, her fellow American John McEnroe quipped while commentating: “This is bordering on embarrassing... this will be over in 10 minutes.”
McEnroe’s prediction was a little off, but 2019 champion Halep will be fancying her chances of reaching a second Wimbledon final in three editions after subjecting a red-faced Anisimova to a 6-2 6-4 mauling on Centre Court.
