Rafael Nadal and Simona Halep have many things in common. First, they are both world no.1; second, they have both won the title at the Roland Garros this year; finally, they are both very hard working.

Why I like Simona NADAL

After being asked about Halep’s title in Paris, Rafa commented

“Yeah, was great, no? She’s a great fighter.

She’s one of the players on the women’s tour with better movements on court. No doubt about it.

It is nice that after the final that she lost last year with so many chances, having breaks in the second and in the third, I think, she was able to win a Grand Slam.

She deserves it. She’s No 1 of the world. She’s a hard worker.”

Another fan for Simona… and a big one.
