The shocks at the World Cup have made their way over to Wimbledon, with defending women's champion Garbine Muguruza and last year's men's finalist Marin Cilic the latest casualties in the second round.
Simona Halep has made no secret about how keen she is to land a first grand slam title, and her team is certainly doing all they can to help the Romanian.
She escaped a clash with old rival Serena Williams but Maria Sharapova came up against a brick wall in the shape of Garbine Muguruza in the quarterfinals of the French Open.
A little over a year ago, Garbine Muguruza defeated Serena Williams in straight sets to claim the 2016 French Open title and notch the first grand slam crown of her young career.
