I have some problems with my right shoulder blade, a little with my shoulder muscle, but it’s nothing serious. I had an MRI yesterday and the results were good. I took a little break from tennis, but I did physical training for this problem daily” declared the best-ranked player from Romania in the WTA rankings.
Halep is looking for a sparring-partner, after giving up the collaboration with Andrei Mledea, with whom she has been training since March. In the 7 months they worked together, Halep won four trophies, Nurnberg, Hertogenbosch, Budapest and New Haven.
“I’m trying to play with several, to see which one I like more. It’s important to have someone to train with, but it’s not a problem. Next year I hope to have someone all the time at the tournaments, as it has been so far , but I’m calm because I feel the game and I’m good on the court,” Halep said.
