Having thrashed Estonia’s Anett Kontaveit 6-1 6-1 in under an hour to reach the semifinals, Simona Halep was asked what she ate in the morning to produce a near-flawless display. “Well, I played really well? Same thing. I have two weeks eating the same thing: ham and cheese,” Halep said.

Muguruza makes it count, Reaches semis

Former world No. 1 Garbine Muguruza scored a 7-5 6-3 victory over 30th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to storm into her first Grand Slam semifinal since Roland Garros in 2018. Unseeded at a Grand Slam for the first time since 2014, Muguruza made few pundits’ lists of pre-tournament contenders and her campaign was almost scuppered by a viral illness. But the hard-hitting Spaniard now finds herself well-placed to make off with a third Major title following her triumphs at Wimbledon in 2017 and Roland Garros the year before.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
