The last-four ties will be played tomorrow, after yesterday’s downpour in Paris caused a backlog of matches. “I knew if I wanted to win today I would have to do something different because it wasn’t going to be easy,” Anisimova added.The defeat for third seed Halep means it has now been 12 years since the last successful title defence in Paris — Belgian Justine Henin’s third straight triumph in 2007.
Anisimova crushed 25 winners past a bewildered Halep, who made 17 unforced errors and served two double faults. Halep, who had thrashed 18-year-old Pole Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-0 in the fourth round, faced being on the wrong end of a similarly one-sided match when she fell 3-0 down in the second.
