The winner of two Grand Slam titles, at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, spoke about his passion for tennis And what advice would you give to young people who want to start in this sport.
“At that age it can be a bit difficult, adolescence intervenes, and you have a very strong desire to go out with your colleagues, to go for a walk or to go on vacation with friends, I did not have these things.
It may not be ideal, but for what I wanted since I was little it was ideal. If you really want to become one of the best athletes in the world, you have to give up everything and put tennis first.
My priority is tennis, nothing can disturb this part of my life, but lately I have relaxed, I have fulfilled all my wishes, I have fulfilled myself as an athlete, now I try to enjoy life to the fullest.
But when I get closer to a tournament, I become Simona, who has tennis as her priority, and that will definitely be another 2-3 years ”. revealed our champion.
Simona Halep: “Andrei Pavel and Gheorghe Hagi inspired me”
He also talked about childhood idols and role models.
“I had Andrei Pavel as an idol when I was a child, I always had emotions when I met him, I was really ashamed to ask for his autograph. At Roland Garros in 2007 I went to his doubles match and asked for his bracelet! And I haven’t taken it out of the insulated bag since.
He also inspired me all the time and the fact that he also won juniors at Roland Garros I wanted to do the same. He guided me kindly without knowing me. It was a nice energy when we met friendly in the field.
So Gheorghe Hagi was one of my idols, in general, not necessarily in tennis, his seriousness, the desire to be the best, the perfection he always sought, showed me that you have to be the best. “ Simona Halep said.
