It was found out what Simona Halep needs to become what she once was. The life-saving solution has come right now, and although it seems that it is not difficult to achieve, in reality, it is not at all simple. What is our former champion to do?
Simona Halep returned to the official circuit in mid-March. Although she was out of the field for a long time, in her first matches after her return, the champion blamed several medical problems on the background of the lack of competitive rhythm.
Now, Gică Popescu, the former great footballer of the Romanian national team, explained what our player needs to become a force again in the world women's tennis.
What must Simona Halep do to come back strong
Gică Popescu, the former midfielder of the national team, showed what Simona Halep needs to do to return to the top of the WTA ranking and to regain her form from the level she was at before the suspension. According to him, Simona Halep must recover her physical condition. She needs to reach at least the same level as the other tennis players who currently dominate the rankings.
Gică Popescu explained that it will not be an easy task for Simona Halep to return to her previous form. He recalled the long period of time he was away from competition, almost two years.
The main obstacle that the champion must overcome
The famous footballer emphasized that the main obstacle is the physical aspect. In his opinion, the trainings are not equivalent to the real confrontation in the competitions. However, Gică Popescu is confident that if Halep overcomes these physical problems, she has the ability to return to the level of performance she had before the suspension.
Gică Popescu mentioned that Simona Halep's absence from the women's tennis circuit makes this sport less interesting. He said he was looking forward to the champion's return to the court. He believes that his presence brings an important added value to the competitions.
Gică Popescu gave the solution for Simona's return
"It won't be easy. He stayed away for almost two years. I don't have a problem with Simona's technical ability. Physically she has problems. He trained, but the competition is completely different. If she holds up physically, I'm sure she'll get back to the level she was at before the suspension. Tennis without Simona is so poor. I'm waiting for her on the field as soon as possible, because with her it's something else", said Gică Popescu, to AS.ro
After a long absence from the circuit, Simona Halep recorded a significant drop in the WTA rankings. She came in 1135th place.
Starting with her return to the circuit in August 2023, after the suspension, the tennis player participated in only two official matches. The first was against Paula Badosa, whom she lost in the first round at Miami WTA with a score of 1-2 in sets (6-1, 4-6, 3-6). The second was against McCartney Kessler, whom he lost after withdrawing from the tournament while leading 1-0 in sets (7-5, 2-3).
