The world number two Simona Halep gave an exclusive interview to Digi Sport at the end of the match of the eighth day of the Foro Italico, won with fanfare against one of the most talented players of the “new wave”.

It was a difficult match, I was expecting it because she is a player who hits the ball hard and you really don’t know where she hits and it’s hard to return those balls. But I recovered, changed the game a bit, played a little further and tried to get the balls up a bit.

After she messed up a bit, I started to get more aggressive. And in the second set she changed the game a bit and she didn’t make such a mistake so easily. Instead, her serve is very difficult to return, she has an extraordinary kick. She is a very good young player and the matches against her are quite tough, like mine. Although it was the first, it felt very hard“Simona said for Digi Sport.

Today I served very well, I am starting to adjust my rhythm, but after so many breaks it is not easy to return to the tournament and play with very strong opponents, but I like Rome and I am happy to see the progress day by day.“Simona Halep said exclusively on Digi Sport.
