Simona Halep has been inches away from being the new world no.1 in the last two months. Even if she didn’t achieve that, she still has many chances if she has a good American swing.
For this reason, Simona has decided to play also in Washington after obtaining “a last minute” wildcard. The Romanian explained why the Citi Open is so important for her
“I want to be in my best form at the US Open. This tournament is very important. Every match is tough and important for my level.
I’m focused on what I have to do on the court and what I need to do to get my game strong.”
Simona will have the chance to play a tough match from the very beginning in Washington where she will face Sloane Stephens in the opener.
