The seventh-seeded Halep will next face eighth seed Elina Svitolina, who defeated the unseeded Karolina Muchova 7-5, 6-4.
"I fought hard in the first set, even if I knew I was 4-1 and she was hitting hard, I knew she would hit with a lot of power. I knew I would have to play aggressively and I did it great," she said.Zhang is ranked 50th and has reached the quarter-finals in only one Grand Slam event - the 2016 Australian Open.
The Romanian, last year's French Open champion, began to find her own rhythm, delivering the calculated low-risk groundstrokes that wore down American Gauff on Monday to hold, then broke back via a double fault. Zhang's head then dropped and the errors flowed as Halep rattled through the remaining games at a canter.
