It’s not something very specific for our sport, but it’s a different preparation than what we do during the tennis season. We run a lot, the mountain air helps us a lot and I feel good here” , said Simona Halep, in a exclusive interview given to Digi Sport.
The best player in Romania also spoke about the decision to break up with coach Adrian Marcu.Â
“I will train with my sparring. I want to be alone for a while, to see what I can do alone on the field, and in the future we will see. I did this year, at the beginning, 2-3 months alone, I- it caught very well.
It can be considered an act of courage because I want to strengthen my confidence in myself, to be able to make decisions on my own, to see what I can do ,” said Halep.Â
After being named the player with the best progress in the WTA circuit in 2013, Simona remains grounded and at the same time is happy because the International Federation recognized her effort during the season.Â
“I received an email from the WTA, they congratulated me. I was happy when I saw the email, when I read it, and then I looked at the WTA on the website. They wrote nicely about me, I’m happy and I hope to I will keep this way and next year I will be better able to achieve even more results.
Everyone has their eyes on me from what I hear. It’s a pressure because I have to defend everything I’ve won this year, it won’t be easy, but I’m ready for anything. I just want to maintain the enjoyment of the game on the field, to work the same way, and to have the work power that I had this year” , revealed our player.
Although she reached much higher than her colleagues, Simona maintains a close connection with the Romanian players in the world circuit.Â
“It’s the same relationship, I don’t feel any difference. I’m a normal person like them and we’re all good. Sorana is 22nd, so she’s not far from me, we’re close ,” Halep concluded.Â
