Simona Halep comments on her football skills

Simona Halep commented on her football skills in Miami. The Romanian player often posted videos featuring her playing with the ball. "Well, I didn't play real soccer. I just play with the ball a little bit. And also, when I was kid, I didn't play professional or with a team. Just with friends. It helps me to warm up, helps me to warm my ankles, my knees. So I think it's a good thing. And when we have the possibility, we always do", said the former world No. 1.

Halep also commented on how important her serve is for her: "I think I was pretty strong with my serve, and I knew where to serve to bother her. Actually, since the doubles match here, the first one, I started to feel my serve better and better, day by day. I'm more confident. And when I saw today that I can win easy games with my serve, gave me a lot of confidence because she's a very good returner. Meant a lot. Now I feel that I have something safe, safer, let's say."

On Su-Wei Hsieh, Halep added: "She's very talented. I want to say that, because she hides the ball. I played at Wimbledon with her last year and -- two years ago, and was really, really tough, but, you know, she has it in her hands. So I cannot describe her game. It's really interesting. I think she just feels the ball, and it comes easy to her. If you put someone else to hit like that, I'm not sure that it's possible."
