Simona Halep (30 years old, 27 WTA) returned to Romania, after training for a week at the tennis academy of Patrick Mouratoglou , the coach of Serena Williams , in Paris, and now she left for the United States of America.
Constanțanca lamented the situation of the people in Ukraine , who have been hard-pressed these days. It has reached the 11th day that Russia is attacking Ukrainian cities with all its forces, and human lives are being lost in vain.
Simona Halep defends the athletes from Russia. “I feel sorry for the feelings they are experiencing now”
Simona Halep never imagined that the world could still fight in such a way in the 21st century, when everyone is headed for peace
Dramatic ! It’s something I never imagined would happen. The poor people – those who are concerned – it is very difficult. I hope it will end as soon as possible and that there will be no more victims “, said Simona Halep, upon arrival at the airport.
Also, “Simo” believes that Russian athletes are not to blame for the fact that they belong to a country misled by a man with personal ambitions more important than anything else.
”(On Russian athletes) I don’t think we should judge them just because they are from the same country. It’s hard for me to say anything. More things will probably be decided in the next period, but they are not to blame.
I feel sorry for the feelings they are going through right now. It’s not easy to have the flag taken from your name,” added the athlete.
Simona Halep will gain a position in the WTA ranking, starting next week, and will be on the 26th place. However, Simona is afraid of how the conflict in Ukraine can escalate, especially since it is happening a few hundred kilometers from the border with Romania .
”(If he feels fear on this topic) Yes, I have this fear, because you never know what can happen. We have to think as positively as possible and live for today ,” concluded Halep.
