No Pain, No Expectations: Halep Heads to Melbourne

No Pain, No Expectations: Halep Heads to Melbourne

The Romanian shook off some rust against Ash Barty in Sydney but she's not in peak form ahead of the Aussie Open.

After falling in second-round action at the Sydney International to Ashleigh Barty, Simona Halep was decidedly upbeat. Not necessarily about her chances at 2019’s first Grand Slam, but that she was able to play pain-free after an offseason that was extra-long due to a back injury that plagued her at the conclusion of 2018.

“No pain at all,” Halep said after taking a 6-4 6-4 loss to the Australian World No.15. “I'm happy about that. It's a great sign. I will recover now, and I will see how I wake up tomorrow morning, because it's important.”

As far as her prospects for the year’s first major, Halep is a lot less sanguine. The Romanian, who won her first major last June at Roland Garros, says she simply hasn’t had enough time to shake the rust off to consider herself a contender at the Australian Open.

“Not really,” she said when asked if she felt like she had enough match play to feel ready for next week’s main draw play at Melbourne, “but I took the risk. I took a longer break because I needed it. Also mentally, also physically. So I have no expectations. That's why I always say because I cannot expect myself to be at the highest level in this moment, because I didn't play matches, but tennis is good, so I have just to believe in myself more.”


Halep has now lost five consecutive matches dating back to the Cincinnati final last August. She couldbe in for a difficult season now that she has parted ways with coach Darren Cahill and has yet to hire a new coach. She doesn’t plan to for several months.

When asked how it felt to be without Cahill for the first time in four years, she replied:

“Weird and tough. You know, it's a new beginning, let's say, and I will give myself a chance, a few months, just to chill on court.”

What They Said

There is a video that has been making the rounds on the interwebs; it is about a subject I have already been on my “soap box” about once this winter.  In fact, some of you get tired of my pointy-headed ramblings on the subject; some have even called me some kind of fascist about it.  …

Adidas + Parley Produce Stunning Eco-Innovative Kits for Top Stars

Made from upcycled plastic waste, this year's Aussie Open Adidas kits are all about saving the oceans.

Thanks to the Adidas x Parley tennis collection, players contracted to Adidas will wear the company's first range made from 100 per cent recycled "ocean plastic", developed in partnership with ocean-protection organisation Parley.

Evert: Sabalenka Will Win Multiple Majors

Evert: Sabalenka Will Win Multiple Majors

18-time major champion is very high on 20-year-old Aryna Sabalenka


“I have no reason to believe that Sabalenka will not win more than one Grand Slam,” said Evert in a conference call to promote ESPN's television coverage of the 2019 Australian Open. “Why? I see two things. I see hunger and I see boldness. Whether that’s fearlessness or what. It’s tied up, the boldness, fearlessness, confidence. That’s her swagger, I see that. I also see hunger. Like this girl wants it. You can see it in her eyes. She’s pretty intense.”

The WTA has seen eight different Slam winners over the last two seasons, marking the first time the WTA has seen four different Slam winners in back-to-back seasons since 1938.

Evert things that in Sabalenka, who is still just 20 years old and currently ranked 11 in the world, the WTA may have a new dominant force.

“To me, those ingredients, the fact that she has the skill set and the talent she does, she will win more than one Grand Slam in the next few years,” Evert said. “That’s my take on her.”
