After the match we were angry, and I tried to do my job, to try something that can be done better. The service dropped her in this match. I talked to her, but she wasn’t there, she just came out of the locker room,” Darren Cahill told ESPN. The Australian coach said that at that moment physical trainer Teo Cercel intervened. “I was talking to her about the match, about what needs to be done, but her physical trainer, Teo Cercel, came and told me: “We all expect too much from her sometimes. She was in the top 5 for the last four years, she always had chances, but sometimes we have to hold her in our arms, tell her we love her and that her day will come too». I told him it was good advice,” Cahill added.
Cahill, delighted that Simona likes Metallica Simona Halep’s coach said he was convinced that his student would win a Grand Slam tournament and confessed that he was delighted by the fact that she likes Metallica, the famous American thrash band. “I’m doing this job because I believe in her, I believe she can win Grand Slams and big matches and she’s a good person. In addition, he also likes Metallica. He’ll win a Grand Slam too, you’ll see,” concluded Darren Cahill.
