Among other things, Simona Halep said after the match: “I had a difficult time before this tournament and I decided to practice more on the serve. I trained hard every day, about 20 minutes just on this procedure! “
In the match with Serena, Halep hit 64% of her first serves and won 64% of her points. With the second serve he had an even better percentage: 68% of points won. In addition, the Romanian saved all six break chances that the world leader benefited from. Simona committed only two double faults, who is now looking towards the upper stages.
Holder of 8 trophies in her career, the woman from Constanta still thought about the Roland Garros final, losing to Maria Sharapova . He has little chance of meeting the Russian again this year, because MaSha is almost eliminated from the tournament (DETAILS) !
Simona Halep also said: “I can say that I played here as I did at Roland Garros, without pressure and without expectations! I can’t perform if I have high expectations from a tournament. What I achieved here is important, but the final played at Roland Garros was much more important for me”.
