Simona Halep gets a quick reaction from Ruxandra Draogomi: “I remind you of one thing.”

The answer from Ruxandra Dragomir, former world number 15, came in the evening. The former player responded to Simona Halep reminding her that she was the one who promoted her to the Fed Cup team.

I really don’t know what happened then, I really don’t remember. Sorry if Simona said that. I doubt he received anything from the Federation, but it doesn’t matter! You always remember the less good things. To better remember the Budapest episode, when I was 16 or 17 years old and I nominated her for the national team.

It would be better if she remembered that when I was captain of the Federation Cup, I was the first captain to nominate her for the national team, when I was 17 years old, after she reached the youth semi-finals at the Australian Championship. Open! I don’t know if he said what he said with bad intentions, but I remind him. Balance and weigh what happened. I nominated her on the team at the expense of some players who were much higher ranked, “Ruxanda Dragomir said, according to ProSport.

Ruxandra Dragomir: “It’s your problem if you want to remember only the bad things”

I supported all the players both as captain and later as FRT president. She was a young woman and I trusted her. If you just want to remember the bad things, that’s your problem! My relationship with Simona is good and I regret that she only remembered the period when I was in the federation. If there are extraordinary things in the federation now and when I was there they were bad things, that is for the other players to comment.

Simona Halep reveals an episode that left her with a bitter taste: “I was forbidden! It was a very difficult time. “

Simona Halep (29 years, 2 WTA) recounted an unpleasant episode in her career, which happened in 2011, when the Romanian Tennis Federation did not let her come to the National Tennis Center, after she did not attend a Fed Cup match.

“About the Federation … We also had less good times. I mention it for the first time in my life. In 2011, when I played the third round for the first time in a Grand Slam, at the Australian Open, I had to go home in February and playing in the Federation Cup. And I broke my abdomen. I announced earlier that I will not be able to participate because I have a rupture.

I said I would shoot hard and play all I could at the Australian Open and then take a break. And they told me that I was no longer allowed to train at the National Tennis Center. They were very difficult moments that I kept in myself. I haven’t talked about it, but it’s time to say it.“Said Halep, in dialogue with Andi Moisescu.
