The number 2 Halep eliminated Veronika Kudemretova (Russia), 32nd in the scheme, with 6:1, 6:3 in 78 minutes. The Romanian won the first set convincingly, and in the second half she was twice behind with a breakthrough, but managed to make a turn with a series of four consecutive games to triumph. Kudermetova tried to be aggressive, but made 38 unprovoked mistakes against only 12 of her opponent, which affected.
`It`s hard when you`re playing against someone for the first time. I knew it hit the ball hard and flat. I had to move well and serve well. I think my pass worked pretty well in that game. In preparation, I worked specifically on the starting lineup. `My kick, and on improving the strength of all my punches. It works. The court here is much faster than last year, so I have to move very fast, ` said Halep. For a place in the quarterfinals, she expects the winner of the match between Roland Garros champion Iga Schwentek (Poland) and Fiona Ferro (France). `I don`t know who will win, but it won`t be easy. Iga defeated me last time at Roland Garros, so I will have to show much better tennis if I want to win, ` Halep said.
