Halep: Ended up working with the coach and went on his own

Halep

In a recent interview, two-time Grand Slam champion Halep said he would be alone in the short term after ending his partnership with the former coach.

The romanian no. 22 player Halep, who is now ranked 22nd in the world, ended his partnership with the six-year coach Darren Cahill in September last year, and for the past six months, Daniel Dobre and Adrian Marcu have accompanied Halep to compete, Daniel Dobre helped the Romanian win the 2019 Wimbledon championship, and has been working with Halep during the epidemic, Adrian Marcu had coached Halep since 2013, and after Cahill left, Adrian Marcu took over.

Last week, news came that Halep had ended his partnership with the two coaches, though the Romanian did not specify why. In a recent interview, Halep said she would be on her own next.

"Now I don't have a coach and at the moment I have no intention of looking for a coach. I broke up with Daniel Dobre and Adrian Marcu to work with the new coach. "Because I think now I should be responsible for myself, to keep reinforcing myself, and I also want to try to see how I will behave when I am alone." In the time I've worked with so many coaches in the past, people have made a lot of suggestions to me, especially in the six years I've been working with Darren [Cahill]. But now I have a lot of ideas myself, and when I don't feel the pressure of the team and am very relaxed, I hope to be able to achieve them all. ”

Halep, 30, believes she can perform well without a coach, and she didn't work with any coaches between 2013 and 2014. Halep said he is more relaxed and his goals for the future are clear.

It is reported that Halep has now gone to the online school founded by Serena Williams coach Moratogru for a period of training, and she will participate in two competitions in Dubai and Doha, and the members of the online school will accompany her as her batting partner.

"I'm going to train at the Moratoglu online school, and I really want to do that because I've never trained at an online school before, even when I was young, I didn't really like it. But now I do want to try a different way because I know there are a lot of top players training there and they're all at a high level. ”

It is still unknown how long the situation will last alone, but Halep said that he still has a close relationship with Darren Cahill: "The reason why our partnership has lasted so long is because he knows me very well. He is not only a coach, but also a psychologist. He taught me a lot of things besides tennis, so I was able to be more outgoing, more communicative, more relaxed. We were in touch almost every day, we were friends and he would advise me when I needed it. ”

After winning his 23rd individual tour title at the Melbourne Summer Series earlier this year, Halep finished in the women's singles round of 16 at this year's Australian Open.
