Earning the right to wear the purple Wimbledon member's badge meant the world to Simona Halep and a day after the 2019 champion showed off her prized possession during Centre Court's centenary celebrations she was back doing what she does best.

The cancellation of the 2020 tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a torn calf muscle in the run-up to last year's edition meant Halep never got a chance to defend her title.

"It's always a pleasure to be back on Centre Court," a beaming Halep said after setting up a quarter-final with 20th-seeded American Amanda Anisimova. "I worked really hard in the past two, three months. That's why I'm starting to play better and better. I'm really happy with the way I'm playing. I'm really confident. It's a pleasure to be on court."

The only Grand Slam champion left in the women's draw has reached the quarters without dropping a set and, considering she is the highest seed left in the top half of the draw, it would be a major shock if she fails to reach Saturday's final.
