Ion Ţiriac wants a player from Romania to win the tournament he sponsors. The legend of the white sport bets on Simona Halep, for whom she predicts an impressive future. “With a little luck, he can even win a Grand Slam,” he said
Simona Halep has massive support at the tournament in Madrid. Among the fans of the athlete ranked 5th in the WTA is Ion Ţiriac, who patronizes the competition with total prizes of over 4,200,000 dollars. He knows how Halep came to be rated with the fourth chance to win the trophy.
“Simona Halep is a great little champion. She lacks 20 centimeters in height. It makes perfect sense that she compensates for those 20 centimeters with intelligence, movement on the court and position on the court. I think it is easy to correct what she lacks in service, but he’s there when he’s on the line and he responds incredibly quickly. He has that ability and that talent, to get the ball as soon as it bounces.” , was the analysis of Simona’s game, which Țiriac did in an Exclusive interview granted to Digi Sport, in Madrid.
Șiriac has high expectations from Halep. The 22-year-old can impose herself even at a Grand Slam tournament. At the end of the month, Roland Garros starts: “He’s number five in the world, it’s a big deal! He can win a Grand Slam, it’s possible, it’s even probable, but he also has to have a little luck. “
