Simona Halep is now a more relaxed player.
The Romanian was always under pressure for not being able to win a major after being the runner-up in slams on 3 occasions. Eventually, Simona found the solution at the recent French Open after winning a tight final, and now she concedes that she sees slams differently.
The pressure is off. HALEP
During the pre-tournament interview in Wimbledon, Simona commented
“Of course, inside of myself, it’s a change because I’m really happy that I was able to break that barrier, but life is the same. Everybody’s the same. I am the same.
“I have to start to play tournaments again. I’m here ready to go ahead. I’m really looking forward to starting it. The pressure is off. The dream came true. I don’t stress myself anymore with that Grand Slam thing. It’s nice to be in this position. It gives me just happy moments. I was dreaming of this. I did it. Now I have already set another goal.”
Simona will face the world no.101 Kurumi Nara in the opener in Wimbledon. The head to head is 1-0 for the Romanian.
