Simona Halep (29 years old) was eliminated by Iga Swiatek (19 years old, 53rd place WTA) from Roland Garros 2020, in the eighth round of the competition, scoring 1-6, 2-6. Ilie Năstase, former world No. 1, spoke exclusively to digisport.ro about Simona’s unexpected loss to the Polish player.
“I did not see the game, I was in the car, on the road. Mr. Flakes called me to tell me that he plays extraordinarily Polish, that he had never seen anything like this in his life. That’s it, Simona had a bad day and Swiatek made the couple of her life. I warned Simona, told her to be careful that everyone would beat her, from 150th place in the world to 500th place. That’s when you are the best in the world.Ilie Năstase stated for the website digisport.ro.
Ilie Năstase: “In tennis you can’t make predictions like in football”
When asked if Simona did not miss a great opportunity for the trophy, given that most of the favorites were eliminated from Roland Garros until the eighth round, “Nasty” said that “In tennis you cannot make predictions like in soccer. The favorites are on paper, Swiatek did not have great chances in the duel with Halep either.“Concluded the former ATP number 1.
With remarkable enthusiasm and the desire for revenge after last year’s failure, Iga Swiatek finally managed to defeat Simona Halep, scoring 6-1, 6-2. An almost perfect match for the Warsaw teenager, who will play the quarterfinals with the winner between Martina Trevisan (159th WTA place).
Foreign journalists They were surprised the elimination of the Romanian from Roland Garros 2020, with Halep being the main favorite to win the French Open. The main publications of Spain, Italy, France or England followed the same idea: Swiatek produced the surprise of the tournament.
