The Romanian’s former coach clapped hands with a new tennis player, former WTA number 1. Following this decision made by Patrick Mouratoglou, Simona Halep commented on this.
How Simona Halep commented on the decision made by Patrick Mouratoglou. “It’s very strict”
The athlete from Romania is in the country for the Ţiriac Foundation Trophy tournament , a competition won this year by Miriam Bulgaru . During the event, Simona Halep gave an interview in which she commented on Patrick Mouratoglou’s decision to collaborate with Naomi Osaka (75 WTA).
In addition to this, the former world number 1 also revealed the relationship he has with the former coach, the one who took the blame before the CAS judges because the banned substance roxadustat was found in the Romanian’s body.
“I see a pretty good collaboration. If Osaka is willing to work and do what they have done in the past, I think they will make a good team. Patrick is a coach who motivates a lot, has this grace and is very strict, on tactics, on statistics.
We are in normal relations, neither good nor bad. I’m ok, I have positive energy, I’m moving forward, I left the subject behind. I want to enjoy what I can still do in tennis and in life.
Life is also after sports, I understood that in the last two years, it helped me mature. This was the biggest gain from this period, that I am very good with myself” , said Simona Halep, according to digisport.ro .

The organizers of the 250 WTA points tournament have announced the players who will take part in the competition. Among them is Simona Halep . The athlete from Constanța announced on September 10 that she would like to perform at this tournament, and her wish was granted.
It’s hard to say now because I’m still recovering with my knee, I plan to go play a tournament in Hong Kong at the end of October. I would really like it because I miss it, I miss the competition and I hope to be healthy and fit to play. This is the plan now”, said Simona Halep before receiving the official invitation.
Simona will face formidable opponents in Hong Kong; the list also includes Emma Răducanu, Leylah Fernandez, Wang Xi Yu and Yuan Yue, Danielle Collins and Katie Boulter. The tournament will take place from October 28 to November 3, and the former world number one is hoping for his first wins after his suspension.
Simona Halep played only two games after her suspension was reduced in 2022. In both games, the woman from Constanta gave up, citing physical problems. Now, after many months of preparation, she hopes to be able to raise her level and climb the WTA hierarchy.
