The best Romanian tennis player of all time, Ilie Năstase , spoke LIVE on the show “Fotbal Club”about the excellent result that Simona Halep recorded against the American Sloane Stephensin the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam from Roland Garros (DETAILS HERE) .
“The important thing is that he won this match, the important thing is that he did it on ‘Central’, especially because I don’t think that has happened before, but he has to improve his serve because he made a lot of mistakes in this match.
She was also lucky because the American also made a lot of mistakes, let’s see now what will happen in the next round. No big fuss should be made after this success. Anyway, they have to play much better to win the tournament” , said Năstase, who watched the match of the sportswoman from Constanța from the stands.
Asked if the possibility of reaching third place in the world could be too much pressure on Simona, Năstase replied:
“It would be a mistake to play in the ranking at the moment. The important thing is to focus on the matches, and if he wins the tournament, then this will bring him other adjacent satisfactions, such as the world ranking.
It is true that there were many surprises this year, Serena Williams was eliminated, but there is also Sharapova, who should not be overlooked.
In addition, Simona also had chances at the US Open last year, at the Australian Open this year and missed. It’s important to think positively, he’s fourth in the world, he has a very good team behind him, it’s important to win a Grand Slam tournament” , concluded Ilie Năstase at Digi Sport.
