Perfect prep: Simona Halep takes 14-match win streak to French Open

India TV News  

Two months of physical training. “We’ve been, for a while, on clay," he said, "and you get more used the bounce, with the angles, and I hope this will be an advantage for her.” Another possible edge for Halep: She didn’t play the recently concluded U.S. Open, having decided against traveling overseas due to health concerns amid the pandemic. At the Italian Open, Halep’s final three matches came against Yulia Putintseva, Garbiñe Muguruza and Karolína Pliskova — all three of whom played at the U.S. Open. “And she had big success in Paris, so I think she’s going to be one of my favorites to go for the title.” Halep’s decision to sit out the U.S. Open was made with the same logic she used when she decided not to compete in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics due to concerns over the Zika virus. And when I feel stressed, I prefer to stay home.” While virus cases are increasing across France — the number of spectators at the French Open has been dropped to 1,000 per day — Halep clearly feels comfortable in Paris, a city she calls her “favorite.” Having previously lost two French Open finals, Halep claimed her first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros two years ago by rallying from a set down to beat Sloane Stephens.
