    I want to believe that she still has the enthusiasm to win multiple grand slams. It is such such a joy to watch her victorious moments.

    What I love about Simona is she is just so friendly and grounded. Absolute superstar yet everytime she speaks or smiles or everytime you look into those gorgeous big blues there is so much more going on. She understands her position and responsibility and is unpretentious. She is such an asset to the WTA and tennis in general. I am not Romanian, I don't need to be to love Simona.

      Me neither, I think there is a misconception about Simona's fans, she is a passionate Romanian and the Romanians love her but she is loved all over the world she has a massive global fan base one of the most popular players of WTA ever

      @@bobbyfackrell9137 Exactly, you only have to look at the viewing figures of this video and then compare it to the current no1 Ash Barty's interview which has actually been out a day longer and no disrespect to Ash she's a great player but you can see where the interest really is. Simona is very popular worldwide.

    If she wins Stuttgart, she will have a complete set of the biggest clay titles in Europe, along Rome, Madrid and Roland Garros. She will find the strenght to win a medal at Tokyo and by the end of the career, she will win at least two other Slams. She has the power and the mentality for doing so.

      I can't wait for Wimbledon after as well. After watching her before I feel like she has adapted her game for grass and won't need to rally as much and can close big points quicker. I know she thinks Clay is her strongest surface but I've never seen her win matches so easily as at Wimbledon '19. She can definitely defend her title.

    • @bobbyfackrell9137

      I've been a fan since 2014 but her run to the final in Australia 2018 was the most inspiring journey I have ever seen, the match against Kerber was one of greatest matches' of all time. She played through the tournament with an injury too. Even when she lost I was gutted but it was not too bad that time because she had given absolutely everything, it was amazing I was convinced she would win the French Open that year!

The fact that she is so close to her roots, wants to help people & prefers to stay in Romania when she can stay in Dubai or Monte Carlo or any where else in the world, says so much about her.

  • @kevinlakeman5043
    @kevinlakeman5043 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Another standout interview from Chris. Halep came a long way, from her level before the reduction surgery where she was never likely to reach top 10 heights, to her work with Cahill as her coach. Lots of butting heads w/ coaches on her style & approach to the game. She was expected to excel on clay, but struggled at RG. The final vs. Ostapenko was crazy. It was a perfect storm for the Latvian as things really fell her way, but she also played the most consistent she ever had in a tournament to that point. She turned 20 the day of the SF, then overpowered Simona in the final, which she can do to most anyone on her best day. I was happiest for Halep when she won Wimbledon. She was flat out the best player in that match.
