Simona eased past Laura Siegemund 6-2 6-4 to advance to the last eight at Melbourne Park

Top seed Simona Halep eased past Laura Siegemund 6-2 6-4 to advance to the last eight at Melbourne Park, but No.9 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova denied her a rematch with reigning French Open champion Iga Swiatek.

I can say I’m happy. A little bit in the second set at the beginning I was with no energy, but then I stayed focused,

Halep said after the match.

I knew that she’s gonna change the rhythm a lot. She did that, many dropshots, but I was ready for it. I feel like I played much better than the first round.
