The conclusive performance that Simona Halephad in the first two matches of the Australian Open attracted the praise of tennis specialists. Especially after the game that Simona displayed in front of the representative of the hosts, Jarmila Gajdosova, score 6-2, 6-2 .
One of those who have been pleasantly surprised by the improvements that Simona Halep has brought to her game is former Swedish grand champion Mats Wilander .
“According to the way she moves on the court, after the solid game displayed, Simona Halep reminded me of Djokovic, I can say that she is a female Novak Djokovic” , appreciated Wilander.
The Swedish champion insisted on the fact that this year Simona Halep is more confident than last year (when she reached the quarter-finals, her best result in Melbourne), with an obviously improved game in several areas.
“She serves much better, although she is not a tall player, but she throws the ball well so high that she can hit effectively.
It also grew on both sides. If until now, her lapel shot, especially along the line, was one of her trademarks, in the match we are talking about she also used the right shot very well. In fact, he fixes the opponent with the lapel and can now also finish with the right hand” , emphasized Mats Wilander, seven times winner in Grand Slam tournaments, including three times at the Australian Open, former no. 1 world in 1988.
