How did the great Federer react when Simona Halep asked him for an autograph: “I froze!”
The 2nd position WTA spoke, among other things, of the battle that is taking place on the men’s tennis circuit and recalled their first meeting with Roger Federer, emotional, as the Romanian admits.
“I was at Wimbledon in 2007, I went to training camp, I had the junior badge and I went to the connection to drop off a rocket. I saw it there, I froze, I didn’t know how.” I reacted and handed him the badge, asked if he could give me an autograph.
And then he asked me what I was doing there, how I was doing. I told him I like tennis, I’m at Wimbledon and I’m glad he’s there, I’ve never seen a grass field before.
It was very hot and it gave me a very pleasant feeling. Although he was very famous and very good at our sport, he spoke to me and wished me well. “said Simona Halep, on the Ace of Tennis show.

Halep also spoke about the possible retirement of the great Swiss champion, who has not yet recovered after the two knee surgeries he suffered.
“It would not be a tragedy to retire at 40, being you Federer. It will be a tragedy, with the necessary appointments, for our sport, for your teammates, we will miss you very much.”
He was an idol for our entire generation, a beauty on the field and off the field, a very civilized man, with common sense, warm with everyone. A genius, from my point of view, and it would be quite sad if the sport disappeared from Federer, but I think that when he decides this, it will be a wise decision. Life means more than tennis, he is old and what he has achieved is enormous “Simona said.
