It was Halep’s second emphatic result against Badosa this year; at the Mutua Madrid Open in May, Halep lost just four games against the then-No.2 seed on her home turf in a 6-3, 6-1 Round 2 victory.

The first match between two Top 20 seeds at this Championships went squarely in favor of the former World No.1 Halep broke Badosa’s serve five times in just 59 minutes on court, never lost her own, and hit 17 winners to just nine unforced errors. Badosa, playing another match on Centre Court after dispatching two-time former champion Petra Kvitova in Round 3, by contrast, never got going.

“Actually, I was more nervous yesterday than today,” she admitted with a smile in her on-court interview. “It’s very special to be back I missed a lot, to play in Wimbledon. Three years was a lot … It’s always a pleasure to come back and to have the chance to play on Centre Court.”

For a spot in the semifinals, Halep will next face No.20 seed Amanda Anisimova of the U.S., who ended the Cinderella run of France’s Harmony Tan in straight sets.
