Simona Halep warned Emma Răducanu, after the success at the US Open
However, the athlete with Romanian origins said that she was happy for the defeat, because it represents a lesson. Simona Halep recently spoke about the champion from Flushing Meadows, whom she advised to calculate her steps carefully, as she is still inexperienced, even after the recently awarded Grand Slam.
“It’s difficult for me to make an analysis. In my case, it took me a long time to win my first Grand Slam, I had won other tournaments before, but for sure it doesn’t compare to a Grand Slam. So I can’t- I give my opinion too much.
From my personal experience, I think he needs to be very careful after such a big shot, because at such a young age he doesn’t have the experience of winning the big trophies. In Emma’s case, it is the very first title of her career. In any case, you can’t know exactly how a young player feels after winning such a tournament ,” Halep said, according to welovetennis.fr .
Emma Răducanu is not affected by the defeat with Aliaksandra Sasnovich
Emma Răducanu had 10 consecutive victories before the duel with Aliaksandra Sasnovich, which represented her debut at Indian Wells.
“I’m glad that what happened today happened, so that I could learn and take a lesson. I’m looking forward to the next chapter and I think I’m doing the best for myself and my tennis.
I think Aliaksandra managed a great match. She was better than me and managed to win. I’m glad that what happened today happened, so that I can learn and take a lesson.
I’m disappointed every time I lose. I didn’t enter the field putting pressure on myself because in my mind I am so inexperienced that I take everything into account ,” said Emma Răducanu, quoted by the BBC.
