What Simona Halep says about the match with Serena Williams
Simona became the “Queen” of Wimbledon in 2019 after beating her in the final the player trying to match Margaret Court’s record of winning 24 Grand Slam titles.
“It’s a bit different when you play someone who has 23 Grand Slam titles. She’s the only one who’s done it, she can’t be compared to any of us. But when I step onto the field, Serena is an opponent like any other. I focus on my game, not where I play. I’m used to playing against Serena, we’ve seen each other many times. I know what to expect. I’ll try to play my game and trust myself.
The Wimbledon final was one of the best games of my life, it was the most beautiful day of my life. Then I felt every ball played. Mentally, there is no difference now from that day. But I know that neither party is like the other. I watched Serena’s game with Sabalenka, two very strong players, but I’m not afraid, many times I played with those players, I beat them many times. I’m glad I achieved the 100th win, I hope as many as possible. I have to play at the highest level to beat Serena, I hope for a longer dispute “Simona Halep said at the press conference.
