Halep has her goals in sight

Less than a month after fearing she'd broken her ankle, Simona Halep is one match away from winning her first Grand Slam title.

The third-seeded Halep beat No 2 Karolina Pliskova on Thursday to reach the French Open final, where she will face unseeded Jelena Ostapenko.

It seemed unlikely that Halep would even be able to play at Roland Garros after the Romanian tore a ligament in her right ankle during her loss to Elina Svitolina in the Italian Open final.
