Roland Garros 2020 will have an unprecedented ending, between the American Sofia Kenin (6 WTA, favorite No. 4), who defeated the Czech Petra Kvitova (11 WTA, favorite No. 7) in two sets, 6-4, 7-5, and the Polish Iga Swiatek ( 54 WTA), which passed in the penultimate act by Argentine Nadia Podoroska (131 WTA) with 6-2, 6-1.
Chris Evert, winner of seven titles on Parisian clay, said that despite elimination of the eighth In this edition of Roland Garros, Simona Halep continues to be the best player on this surface.
“She was my favorite to win the tournament, and if she made it to the semi-finals, she should have won. Last Sunday’s game is one of a thousand, where Iga Swiatek played the game of his life and I think Simona did not expect such a thing, she was not as skilled as ever. I keep claiming that she is the best scum player in all of women’s tennis.“Chris Evert told GSP.ro.
Chris Evert: “Everyone complained about the conditions at Roland Garros, even Rafa Nadal”
The former great champion of the United States considers that Simona was also pressured by the conditions in which this edition of Roland Garros took place: “I don’t think they helped her, they were oppressive. But I don’t know if it suits any player. Everyone complained about them, even Rafa Nadal. I don’t think I managed to hit him on the note. The ball he sent her didn’t have the weight it usually does, because if we look at her physique, she can’t generate the force that tall, tall girls have.“said Evert.
Chris Evert highlighted the pros and cons of Simona Halep’s game: “Simona’s power comes from a combination of movement, she covers the ground very well and the placement of her punches. He does not have a great serve, he will not crush you with his strength, but he builds his points very well, so he always controls them. What it lacks in terms of strength it makes up for by laying and covering the floor“.
Chris Evert is a fan of Simona Halep
Two years ago, Evert praised her over the 29-year-old from Constanza, after she managed to finish second for the second year in a row in the WTA rankings.
“Take a look at what Simona Halep had to do this year, how she overcame so many three-set matches. Players like her, Kerber, and Wozniacki don’t have a big gun in their arsenal, so they have to fight hard. It’s exhausting watching them play.
Poor Simona has to run three steps for every step Venus Williams takes. And people wonder why they get tired of a tournament. Well, she’s 1.68 meters tall, so she deserves congratulations because she’s number 1 and plays her style.“, declares the American, for wtatennis.com.
