Halep Reflects On 2016 Improvements In Forbes Interview

  • Posted: Jan 01, 1970

Simona Halep finished a third straight season as a Top 5 player, and credits some of her game’s biggest improvements to work done with coach Darren Cahill.

“I am more aggressive, but not crazy aggressive,” the Romanian told Forbes’ Danielle Rossingh during the Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open. “More smart aggressive because I cannot stay all the time close to the baseline. I have to go out and back and come in many times.

“I think I improved in myself, my forehand is stronger. We worked on every shot and I think all my game is better now.”

Halep believes another key improvement has come on serve, specifically her ball toss.

“He told me to change it, to toss it lower, and I think it helps me. I feel like the timing is better.”

The results began to come in streams by spring, when she won her second Premier Mandatory title at the Mutua Madrid Open, owned by countryman and Romanian tennis legend Ion Tiriac.

“He helps me with advice, he talks with me,” she said. Tiriac gave her a wildcard into Madrid back in 2013, a move Halep says kickstarted her pro career.

“He’s into my tennis and always we have a good discussion, sometimes he’s coming to my practices.”

A lot of his advice centers around Halep’s ultimate goal of Grand Slam glory; the former World No.2 reached the French Open final in 2014, and will aim to take that career-best major finish one step further in 2017.

“He tells me that I have everything to win a Grand Slam, I have just to believe. It’s good to have such an important man in my life and in my career.”

Serena’s Stacks & Stacks Of Tennis Whites

  • Posted: Jan 01, 1970

LONDON, England – How many tennis outfits does one Grand Slam champion need? When you’re Serena Williams and going for your twenty-second career title at Wimbledon, the answer is a lot.

Earlier today, Serena gave Bleacher Report’s UNINTERRUPTED an inside look into her 2016 Wimbledon wardrobe, and it looks like the World No.1 is totally outfitted for a long fortnight.

Take a look at the video above and watch as Serena walks us through every piece of her extensive Wimbledon outfits – a different look for singles and for doubles – and see everything from her signature Swoosh headbands to her socks adorned with pom-poms.

However, there’s one crucial item noticeably absent from Serena’s Grand Slam ensemble: it looks like the defending champion is still missing her grass court shoes. Serena accidentally left them behind in the United States before flying out to London, but we’ve got no doubt that Nike will have them to her before the start of her Wimbledon campaign.

Despite the close look into every single piece in her London closet, Serena still held back on one item: you’ll have to wait until she steps out onto Centre Court at the All-England Club to see her Nike dress in action, though you can still get a sneak peak of it on her Twitter account.
