Simona Halep through to US Open last 16 with victory over Timea Babos

Timea Babos squanders a two-game lead in the deciding set as she falls to defeat at the hands of Simona Halep at the US Open.

Simona Halep has defeated Timea Babos in three sets to advance through to the last-16 stage of the US Open.

Last year's semi-finalist came out on top 1-6 6-2 6-4 in a time of just over two hours at Flushing Meadows to set up a meeting with Carla Suarez Navarro.

Halep cruised through the first set by breaking her opponent three times, but the Romanian had less success in the second as she squandered a couple of break points and gave her opponent a chance to level up.

Four games on the bounce ensured that Babos took the second set, but it was Halep who edged an entertaining decider after recovering from a two-game deficit to progress through in difficult circumstances.
