Simona Halep is a two-time Grand Slam champion and a former world No 1 from Romania. After losing her first three slam finals, Halep won her first Grand Slam at Roland-Garros in 2019 and then won her second on grass at Wimbledon in 2019, beating Serena Williams in the final.
The winner of 23 titles worldwide, Halep announced earlier this month that she has hired Patrick Mouratoglou as her full-time coach, hoping that the Frenchman, who has helped Williams win 10 of her 23 slam titles, can help her return to the winners’ circle at the biggest events.
In the latest episode of Major Talk, interviewed by Alize Lim, Halep speaks about how she was close to retiring at the end of last year, how teaming up with Mouratoglou has given her new life and how she hopes to win more Grand Slams and get back to the top of the women’s game.
