delivered some world-class tennis on Saturday to defeat 6-2 6-3. On what made a difference to win in such an easy way, the Romanian player said: I thought about the match in Montreal.
I knew that she was injured back then, but I knew I have to play similar tennis, fast, quick, to stay very close to the baseline, which I did great today. Also to serve well because she returns pretty strong. She stays into the court and takes the return very fast.
Yeah, I think I played smart, aggressive, and also I moved her a lot, so I think thats why I could win. On her next match against , Halep added: Its a bit different because I only beat her once in my life, so I cannot say much about this match.
Just that its going to be a huge challenge for me. Its always great to play against Serena because every time I have to learn something from the match. I think I have to play similar if I can. I have to be smart, aggressive.
I have to move her and give my best. I will not super think about this because is nothing to think, just go there and play natural and with confidence. Recalling her wins over Serena, Halep added: I remember those matches.
The first one I played like today: fast and aggressive. In the final at 3-1 there in the first set, I lost the confidence and I went very back, I went very far on the court, and I couldnt touch the ball any more. She was dominating the match.
I played many times against her. We had also tough matches together. So its going to be just a huge match for me. I will not put pressure on myself. Theres a good chance for me to play my best tennis and to feel good on the court.
