Who is Sara Sorribes Tormo, Simona Halep’s opponent in the first round of Roland Garros
Sara Sorribes Tormo is 23 years old, fair and trained by the German coach Puentes. Ranked 70th in the world, Sara has not won a WTA tournament in her career and reached the highest position in the WTA ranking in June 2019, 64th.
- 51 is the place that Sorribes Tormo occupies in the world doubles ranking
- 1.76 m and the height of Simona Halep’s future rival
The player from Castellón raised almost 1.7 million dollars in her career in tennis alone and accumulated 13 wins and 10 losses in 2020.
In the ITF Tennis Europe final last week in Cagnes Sur Mer (France), Sara Sorribes Tormo defeated Irina Bara, scoring 6-3, 6-4.
If she beats Sorribes Tormo, Halep will play the second round with the winner between Irina Begu (30 years, 72 WTA) and the Swiss Jil Teichmann (23 years, 54 WTA). Teichmann won 6-3, 6-1 in her only duel with Begu, last year, in the first round in Bol (Croatia) – WTA 125K.
Simona Halep, the Roland Garros 2020
The world leader of the WTA hierarchy, Ashleigh Barty, announced that she will not play in the European slag season, due to the risks to which she would be exposed with a trip made from Australia, but also due to her lack of training.
Thus, Simona Halep is the main favorite at Roland Garros, as happened in the tournament in the Italian capital, last week.
In 2018, Simona Halep won the Roland Garros trophy, defeating American Sloane Stephens in the last act. The first two finals played by Simona on clay in Paris were lost to Maria Sharapova and Jelena Ostapenko.
