Wimbledon 2018 | The Year of Halep
For the first time in his career, Simona Halep is the favorite at Wimbledon and a success on the London grass has come shortly after [Garros first at a Grand Slam tournament would only strengthen his status, says Rob Schaefer, in an article devoted to the monidal leader, about The Ringer.
] The American journalist insists that the tradition is not favorable to Simone at the All England Club, but the determination of the Romanian to confirm that 2018 is her year could help her to get a historic title
" History tells us that for Halep it will be difficult to repeat the race that ended with the title of Roland Garros The only woman not to be named Williams who has winning consecutive Grand Slam titles in this century is Kim Clijsters, with more than seven years ago, Halep has reached the quarterfinals of the last two Wimbledon events, but has never reached the half -finals
Victoria of Roland Garros has cemented it, statistically and philosophically, as a world leader that he has held since late February. This was Halep 's third title this season, he earned more points (5,285) and earned more money ($ 5,345,777) than anyone in the circuit this year. . After almost all units of measurement, 2018 was the year of Simone Halep "cited source.
The author also recalls the hard times that the 26-year-old policeman had to overcome for return to the 1st place and the first title of a major tournament.In fact, the article begins with the memory of the conflict that Halep and his trainer, Darren Cahill had in Miami in 2017.
" At the time, despite the consistency on paper, Halep's career was defined by unrealized potential and self-doubt. On January 27, 2014, at the age of 22, he entered the World Top 10 and has not been out of there since. The 231 weeks are by far the longest active series of the WTA. He spent 57 of those weeks on the first two places. In October, he climbs for the first time in the lead, but the Grand Slam titles avoid "notes The Ringer.
Finally, after three major finals lost, two at Roland Garros and one in the Australian Open and the long-awaited success came, obviously on the edge of Paris, unsurprisingly: " Simona Halep has shaped her play on clay since a young age. Not great, he does not hit hard, but he's a fluid athlete who sends tough balls anywhere on the field in any position. Waiting patiently for any crack in the defensive defense, however small and striking . "
Now all eyes of London are fixed on her:" After winning the first major title at Roland Garros, number 1 Wimbledon World Championship The Wimbledon tournament will run from 2 to 15 July. All Romanian games will be followed in real time on digisport.
