AO - Day 10 - Halep v Kontaveit

Third quarter final in the women’s singles was the first match on RLA on Day Ten of 2020 AO.
It featured fourth seed Simona Halep against Anett Kontaveit, the latter in her first major quarter final.

After the pair held their opening serves, Kontaveit couldn’t convert three game points and Halep broke through with her first break chance for 2-1.  
In game five, Kontaveit saved four break points, but Halep used the fifth to extend her lead to 4-1.
After saving a break point and holding for 5-1, Halep then broke Kontaveit for the third time, converting the second of two set points for a dominant 6-1.

Set two was even quicker. 
Kontaveit was broken in the second and fourth games, while Halep was never taken to deuce.
The Romanian won 6-1 6-1 in just 53 minutes firing a warning to anyone left in the draw.
