Halep

Two-time Grand Slam champion Halep has now arrived in Melbourne to prepare for the Australian season, and before leaving, Halep was interviewed by the Romanian media and said that his goal for the 2022 season is to stay healthy and return to the world's top ten.

Due to injury, Halep missed most of the 2021 tournaments, including the French Open and Wimbledon Grand Slam tournaments, and she fell out of the world's top ten, which is the first time in the past seven years that Halep has slipped from the world's top ten rankings, and she is currently ranked 20th. Halep said the 2021 season was a tough one for her, but she was ready for the new season.

'I want to be able to stay healthy and not get injured again." Halep said, "It's been a very difficult year, I can't wait to start the new season now, I'm ready, but I don't know what kind of performance I will come up with, my dream is to return to the top ten in the world." ”

In this year's Australian season, Halep will compete in the WTA250 Melbourne and WTA500 Sydney stations, followed by the Australian Open, which starts on 17 January. Halep said such a tight schedule would guarantee a good volume of matches in preparation for the Australian Open. She said she was in good shape with her body and mentality and traveled to Melbourne with high self-confidence.

"I'll be in all three races because I've had very few races this year and I hope to be able to find more feeling in the official races. I was training very well, so I was expecting to have good results and I did five weeks of training so I went to Melbourne with a lot of confidence. Halep said.

Halep said he had a great time with his family during the Christmas season: "I had fantastic days with my loved ones and now I am ready to go. I also visited my godparents, I decorate my house every Christmas, and I've basically stayed at home for the last two years, but I'm used to going to Australia during Christmas to prepare for war, so it's not difficult for me. ”
