Simona Halep continued her dominant display at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, defeating Amanda Anisimova in straight sets in the quarterfinals. Although the match was expected to be a close contest, the Romanian cruised to a 6-2, 6-4 win without breaking a sweat.The three-time Grand Slam champion saved seven of the eight break points she faced on her serve, while breaking the American four times across four sets. Most impressively, she won the last five points of her final service game after going 0-40 down and into a spot of bother.The victory meant Halep has now won 12 straight matches in the tournament, with seven wins carried over from the 2019 edition where she notched up her third Grand Slam. It marks the best win-streak by a woman at SW19 since the legendary Serena Williams won 20 matches between 2015 and 2018.Tennis fans on social were more than happy for the former World No. 1, proclaiming that she should now be the favorite for the title. As much as they were ambivalent about the 30-year-old's recent partnership with controversial coach Patrick Mouratoglou, users on Twitter were of the opinion that she deserved this success after years of consistency on the WTA Tour."I both want Simona Halep to win Wimbledon and don't want Patrick Mouratoglou to be the coach of the player that wins Wimbledon," one fan tweeted.Scott Barclay@BarclayCard18I both want Simona Halep to win Wimbledon and don't want Patrick Mouratoglou to be the coach of the player that wins Wimbledon.50323I both want Simona Halep to win Wimbledon and don't want Patrick Mouratoglou to be the coach of the player that wins Wimbledon.José Morgado@josemorgadoFormer #1 and 2019 champion Simona Halep wins a 12th consecutive match at Wimbledon, beating Amanda Anisimova 6-2, 6-4 in 65 minutes to reach the semifinals.
