REUTERS: Simona Halep overcame a second-set lapse to secure a 6-4 7-5 Miami Open quarter-final victory over China's Wang Qiang on Wednesday that put the Romanian one win away from reclaiming the world's top ranking.
But Wang came out firing in the second set, breaking Halep three times and holding to love in back-to-back service games to build a 5-1 lead. Halep matched her best result in Miami, which came in 2015 when she lost to Serena Williams in the semis."Playing again in the semi-finals is going to be a big challenge. And maybe I can do my best result here and play in the final," Halep said in an on-court interview."It's going to be a big match in the next round."
