LONDON (Reuters) - China's Li Na snapped out of a mid-match meltdown to beat in-form Romanian Simona Halep and reach the third round of Wimbledon on Thursday.

The 31-year-old former French Open champion went through the motions as she surrendered the second set meekly but recovered to win a curious match 6-2 1-6 6-0 on a muggy Court Three.
