LONDON (Reuters) - For almost 45 minutes, Simona Halep handed out a public flogging to a shell-shocked Amanda Anisimova in their Wimbledon quarter-final on Wednesday.

It was getting so bad for Anisimova, her fellow American John McEnroe quipped while commentating: "This is bordering on embarrassing... this will be over in 10 minutes."
