Simona Halep:'I didn't watch Serena Williams' last two Major final losses'
Simona Halep was only focused on herself and not Serena Williams ahead of their final in Wimbledon. The Romanian player, speaking after her success, said: "I didn’t watch [Serena’s two final losses] because I don’t really like to watch those moments. But I thought that if those players were able to win against her in a final then I have a chance. So that’s why I was very confident today.”
Halep believes that her biggest improvement was in her head: “I accepted that I need help in that direction, mentally help. And I accepted that I am like that and I don’t have to make big changes, just to understand what’s going wrong during those moments. And once I accepted and once I understood, I could work on them, and that’s why I changed some things."
Halep took a break during last year's off-season: “I was enjoying life, I’ve been out, I’ve been with friends, on holidays, I switched off the tennis life for about two months because I felt exhausted. I was injured actually first, so it was a good decision at that time", concluded Halep, who will return on the WTA Tour in Toronto.
