Garbine Muguruza
Halep meets Spain's Garbine Muguruza in a semi-final showdown on Thursday, bidding for a ticket to her third Roland Garros final in five years and her first Grand Slam win.
Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki pulverised world number one Garbine Muguruza 6-2, 6-0 on Saturday to reach her fourth Pan Pacific Open final.
In a normal year, winning the U.S. Open would be a big enough carrot in itself to encourage the world’s best to give everything for the title.
