With Halep's ouster from the Wimbledon 2018 tournament yesterday, her French Open nemesis, Jelena Ostapenko, now becomes the best bet to reach the semi-finals on their side of the draw.
However, it is not yet a done deal because Ostapenko is an unknown quantity on grass and this is the year she may have to prove to everyone, she can play here as well as on clay.
Dominika Cibulkova may possibly be her most imposing opponent, but Ostapenko has to go through Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus first, who is herself, having a great tournament.
Cibulkova, a former WTA year-end champion has been inconsistent lately, but it is possible that she completes a run here to the semi's, She is an Australian Open finalist, so she has been there.
