Simona Halep: When you wait more, the success is sweeter so I take it
World No.1 and reigning Roland Garros Champion Simona Halep recently spoke about the emotions she went through after winning her maiden Grand Slam in Paris last year. Its something that I dreamed for. Its real now and I dont have the pressure that I want to win the tournament.
I won it and now everything that comes after is a bonus. It feels easier to face the tournaments and also to travel that much. When I have a tough opponent, its just about that day, nothing else, not about the result or the tournament results, she said.
If I could have won in 2014, (it would have been) less pressure, she said. I think life could (have been) different. But I dont complain. When you wait more, the success is sweeter so I take it.
She further added on the same topic. If I could have won in 2014, (it would have been) less pressure, she said. I think life could (have been) different. But I dont complain. When you wait more, the success is sweeter so I take it.
With her coach Darren Cahill not with the World No.1, she added, His son needs his support and the whole family, so I think it was the best decision for him, she said. Also the four years that we had were really tough, difficult, so the road was not easy to get to No 1 and also winning a grand slam.
I think for him it was the best decision. For me, its not that bad. I needed some time to rest, less pressure, so we still are very good friends. He came here a few days, to give me advice. Hes a great person, we will be forever friends.
