No. 2 seed Simona Halep proved her mettle with a hard-fought 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win over No. 20 Victoria Azarenka on Wednesday night. The win launched Halep into the semifinals of the 2015 U.S. Open. 

According to WTA Insider, Halep turned to a little-used weapon in her arsenal to get the victory. 



Azarenka seemed intent upon making Halep beat her with the backhand. Repeatedly, the 23-year-old Romanian did just that. She hit 40 winners in all and made just 19 unforced errors compared to 42 miscues for Azarenka.

Halep did win her most recent match versus Pennetta, but overall, the latter owns a 3-1 edge in the series. Per WTA Insider, Pennetta is expecting a long and grueling match on Thursday:

The 34-year-old Federer is a marvel.

At an age when most of the greats were a mere shell of themselves, Federer looks almost as good as he did when he was in his prime.

Per Alex Sharp of Wimbledon.com, Federer said this after his latest triumph: "Maybe at my age to run through five opponents the way I have done here at the U.S. Open, I don't consider that normal, even though I expect it in some ways for myself to come out and play well.
