Simona Halep is well known for being a great warrior on court.
The Romanian has played countless battles in her career, and she had many heartbreakers especially after she lost 3 slams finals (2 in Paris and 1 in Melbourne).
Finally, Simona won her first slam this year at the French Open, and she explained why this was an essential boost to her confidence.
I believed I was a real world no.1 after winning the French Open. HALEP
On Friday, Simona commented
“Definitely my dream came true. Inside myself, something changed. I’m more relaxed. I feel thankful for everything I achieved.
These two were my dreams, to be number one in the world and to win a Grand Slam. Always I say number one in the world without a Grand Slam; you are not a real number one.”
After the French Open, I really started to believe that I’m a real number one.”
Simona will start her US Open campaign against the world no. 44 Kaia Kanepi.
OH YES… that helps! |
