TORONTO (Reuters) - Second seeded Romanian Simona Halep sleepwalked through the first set before producing a remarkable transformation to claim a semi-final berth with a 0-6 6-3 6-1 comeback win over defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska at the Rogers Cup on Friday.

After dropping the first seven games, Halep slowly found rhythm and at 3-3 in the second set shifted into high gear.
