Simona Halep progressed to the semi-finals of the Australian Open on Wednesday after powering past Estonia’s Anett Kontaveit.

“I felt great today on court. I was feeling my game, I felt strong on my legs,” the fourth-seeded Halep said.

“I know how to play against her so I was just focused on every point I played.”

28-year-old Halep took charge of the match from the outset as she broke the 24-year-old in the third game of the first set, then again in the fifth game.

On Thursday, in the other semi-final, top seed Ashleigh Barty faces American 14th seed Sofia Kenin.
