The 2019 winner, seeded No.16 this year, ran her personal winning streak at the Championships to 12 with a 6-2, 6-4 win over No.20 seed Amanda Anisimova in Wednesday's quarterfinals.
Halep hadn't set foot on court at the All-England Club since she hoisted the trophy in 2019, as the 2020 Championships were canceled and she was forced to withdraw last year due to a calf injury. Her return to the site of her second career major title been stellar: She hasn't lost a set in five matches so far, losing just 28 games in 10 sets.
She said:
"I'm really happy to be back in semis here in Wimbledon. It's one of my favorite tournaments, so it's pretty special. It's been a great match today, and I'm really pleased with the way I played. ... I think every match I got a little bit better. I had tough opponents, and I did what I had to do every day."
She further added:
"It was not easy at all because I feel like she played without
thinking that she has something to lose, so every ball was really hard
hit. But I refused that she's going to come at 5-All. Even if I
was 0-40, I was hard a little bit on myself. I pumped myself. I served
very well. I believed I could finish the match 6-4. I really believed
it."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
