The World No. 15 from Romania has won the WTA 1000s event twice in the past — 2016 and 2018. For a spot in the semifinals, she will take on young sensation Coco Gauff on Friday This will be the fourth time that the two players will face each other, with Halep leading 3-0 in the head-to-head. In a press conference after winning her third-round match against Switzerland's Jil Teichmann on Thursday, 30-year-old Halep spoke about her upcoming encounter with Gauff. Although the Romanian has never lost to the American prodigy, she is aware of Gauff's capabilities. "Well, she's a very tough opponent," Halep said. "And she's super young, she's powerful, she's strong, she's solid. So it's going to be a tough match like always. We played a few times together. Because she's playing non-stop and she's winning non-stop. So that's why you don't feel like she's young anymore."

"We're going to miss her, but she has many other important things in life to go through. I think it's time to stop tennis because she has a life ahead.
