The match against the athletes from Kazakhstan will take place on Tuesday, two days away from the last confrontation. In an exclusive interview for Digi Sport, Simona explained the repercussions of this gap.
“It’s a bit difficult. Two days off is like starting another tournament. It’s not easy, but I have to adapt and play a good match. It’s the best moment of my life and I want to enjoy it as much as possible much” , said the third favorite at Wimbledon, EXCLUSIVELY for Digi Sport.
Simona has already achieved three victories, and entering the second week she is satisfied with the form she showed and the training she had in London.
“I got to feel the ball well, to feel the game, the first rounds were very difficult because I didn’t have the necessary timing. Day by day I play better, I hope to continue the successes here and go as far as possible”, he revealed Aleppo.
After the eliminations of Serena Williams and Na Li , the Romanian became the highest seed left in the tournament at the All England Club . This is not taken into account by Simona, for whom only the next opponent matters.
“Now I think I’m the favorite in all the matches because I remained the best ranked player in the tournament, but here on grass I can’t say I’m the favorite more than the opponent because it’s a strange, faster game. I have my chance and I fight to win and move on.
I don’t think about who loses and who wins. I focus on my job, on my match, I have to be 100% focused so that I can give my best to win the match. I don’t care what the rest do, I only care what I do,” Halep concluded.
Simona Halep’s round of 16 match with Zarina Diyas will be played on Tuesday, and Digi Sport will broadcast the match LIVE and EXCLUSIVELY for Romania.
