MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Simona Halep joked she was "almost dead" after her 4-6, 6-4, 15-13 win over Lauren Davis in the third round of the Australian Open on Saturday, a grueling 3-hour, 45-minute match that featured a countless energy-sapping rallies and a remarkable 38 break points. But what Halep said got her through the match wasn't her legs, it was her head. This is a big change for a player who has sometimes wilted under pressure. "For sure, I'm stronger mentally, and I could resist like (that) for every moment in the match," Halep said.
