MELBOURNE, Jan 18 — Former world number one Simona Halep said she was still dreaming of more Grand Slam success today despite an error-strewn performance to reach the Australian Open second round.
But she struggled to find her groove against Poland’s 102nd-ranked Magdalena Frech before banking the win 6-4, 6-3 on Margaret Court Arena to keep her hopes of a third major title alive. “I don’t know what to say about the final. It’s one of my dreams to get there, but I know it is difficult. I’m not going to think about that.”
It was a far-from-convincing performance against Frech, with both players struggling to hold serve in the opening set. The Pole was broken three times and Halep twice.
