The Romanian has visions of gold dancing in her head.

After winning Roland Garros and being emphatically embraced by the Romanian public with open arms, Simona Halep is hoping to take it to the next level. The Romanian told reporters on Saturday at Wimbledon that she has set a new goal for herself: two in an Olympic medal.

“The dream came true,” said Halep. “So I don't stress myself any more with that Grand Slam thing. It's nice to be in this position. But, you know, gives me just happy moments, nothing else. I was dreaming for this. I did it. Now I have already set another goal.”

When asked what that new goal was, Halep quickly stated her intentions: “Actually it's about the Olympics,” she said. “I would love to have an Olympic medal. So my focus is on that.”

Halep said she was moved by the affection that the Romanian people showed her. “Actually it was one of my best moments,” she said of her post-Roland Garros celebration at the National Arena in Bucharest. “To see over 20,000 people coming out to see me and to see the trophy, it was amazing. Actually I had tears in my eyes actually receiving the love from the people.”

She added:

“It's really nice to see that those people were appreciating my work and my result. I think it was a dream for them also, to have a tennis player winning a Grand Slam again after 40 years. It was an amazing moment. I really thank them for doing that. It was special. I took a lot of energy from them.”

Top-seeded Halep will open her 2018 Wimbledon campaign on Tuesday against Japan’s Kurumi Nara. Halep, a quarterfinalist last year at SW19, owns a 1-0 record against Nara.

The two-time champion is mulling over a big decision.
After three matches in two weeks, including an impressive victory over fellow comeback kid Stan Wawrinka, two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray is mulling over the decision to play at this year’s Championships.

It’s not so much a decision of fitness, says Murray. The real question then being: Can the Scotsman do himself “justice?”

“There is no risk [to] me playing tennis just now,” Murray said on Wednesday after losing to Kyle Edmund at the Nature Valley International at Eastbourne, according to Ros Satar of Britwatch Sports. “That’s not really the point. It’s just whether I feel like I’m able to do myself justice.”

Murray is enthused by his level of play but just isn’t sure that he’ll have what it takes to make an impactful Wimbledon run at this stage of his comeback.

“I have made decent improvements the last couple of weeks and obviously have been somewhat competitive in the matches that I have played,” he said. “But, you know, so I don’t just want to go out there to just play. I want to be able to compete properly. And if I don’t feel like I can do that, then I won’t play.”

We can expect a decision from Murray before tomorrow’s draw, which is to be held at 10 AM London time. If he plays he could be a very dangerous floater on a full tank of energy at his old stomping grounds.

“If I do [decide to play] and physically I feel ready, mentally I’m in the right place, then I’ll go for it, but there’s no danger about me injuring my hip more than there would be at any other stage,” Murray said. “Obviously I could slip and fall and hurt myself, but that’s got nothing to do with my decision whether I play the tournament or not.”

Djokovic will join Federer on Team Europe, with Del Potro joining Nick Kyrgios on Team World. Laver Cup is more like the popcorn cup. The competition added two marquee names on Thursday, as Juan Martin del Potro signed on to help Team World and Novak Djokovic was added to Team Europe.

“I’m very excited about playing the Laver Cup in Chicago later this year and helping to defend the title for Team Europe,” Djokovic said in a statement..

“I love the whole concept of ‘rivals becoming teammates’ and can’t wait to join Roger Federer in Team Europe under the leadership of our inspirational captain, Bjorn Borg, one of the most accomplished players in tennis history.

“Roger and I have played so many tough matches, and he is such a great champion so it will be a unique experience being part of the same team and perhaps even playing doubles together.

“This is a unique new event for world tennis and one I’m looking forward to being part of,” said Del Potro. “I’m also excited about coming to Chicago. It’s home to so many sports teams and is known as one of the most sports-mad cities in the world. It will be great to bring tennis back to Chicago and I’m sure all the fans will come out and support Team World.”

The Laver Cup will take place September 21-23 in Chicago. Learn more about the competition here.

The American had a pop star moment after his exhibition match with Juan Martin del Potro at Boodles. When you’re 20 and trying to make a name for yourself on the ATP Tour, it’s not always great to have someone mistakenly confuse you for a MEGA pop star of the opposite sex. But you know what they say? Any press is good press, so when American Taylor Fritz was accidently referred to as Taylor Swift yesterday at the Boodles he took it in stride (well, sort of).

Ladies and gents, Taylor Swift? 🧐@Taylor_Fritz97 #TheBoodles pic.twitter.com/dE5QQbl5FM

— Tennis Channel (@TennisChannel) June 27, 2018

Swift, er, Fritz, ranked 68, will make his third Wimbledon main draw appearance this week. He has yet to win a match at SW19 and owns a 1-7 lifetime record at the majors with his only win coming at last year’s U.S. Open.

The Aussie had some kind words for Halep on social media when all was said and done. Former champ LLeyton Hewitt and top-seeded Simona Halep took to the court for a grueling practice today in London. Looks like both players enjoyed the experience quite a bit—after they caught their breath.

Thank you soooo much for the practice @lleytonhewitt ☺️☺️ It’s amazing how well you play and make it look so easy. I was dead at the end 😜 Thanks also to @darren_cahill for organising and Andrei Pavel for joining in. I had the best day @wimbledon 😍 #luckygirl pic.twitter.com/dcUf7Dvdep

Hewitt, 37, has taken a wild card into the doubles with Alex Bolt. Hewitt and Halep both have won Grand Slams with Darren Cahill as their coach, so the pair have more in common than their well-documented and much-celebrated battle lust.

Haha… @Simona_Halep you hit it great and took it easy on me 😜 https://t.co/vozPLCLKIR

The two-time Wimbledon champion hopes to be in good health for Wimbledon next week.
Petra Kvitova has withdrawn from this week’s Nature Valley International in Eastbourne, citing an injured hamstring that she injured while winning the title last week at Birmingham.

The Czech defeated Kateryna Bondarenko in round two at Eastbourne for her sixth straight win on grass and said the injury was worse this morning when she woke up.

“I felt my hamstring in the Birmingham final and although I played with tape in my match here yesterday, when I woke up this morning it felt worse. With Wimbledon around the corner I couldn’t take the risk of making it worse by playing today,” wrote Kvitova on social media.

The two-time Wimbledon champion is seeded eighth at this year’s Championships.

The 15-year-old will be wearing Fila shoes and apparel from now on.

The Viking God, part 2.

Earlier this year Fila announced that it had re-partnered with tennis legend Bjorn Borg. The relationship had first begun in 1975.

On Monday Fila announced that it has paired with Bjorn Borg’s son Leo in a deal that will put the 15-year-old in Fila footwear and apparel on and off the court.

Leo, who recently turned 15 years old, was ranked No. 1 in the Under-14 age group in Sweden and captured the U14 Swedish Masters title last November. Also among his accomplishments in 2017 were victories at the Iceland Open U16, the Toyota Cup U14 and the Kystmesterskaberne U14, as well as a quarterfinal round appearance at the Junior Orange Bowl U14. This year, he was the Salk Open U16 winner.

“We are thrilled to partner with Leo as we continue our commitment to the next generation of tennis players,” said Gene Yoon, Global Chairman at FILA. “As the newest member of the FILA family, we are excited to support Leo as he strives to leave his own mark on the game.”

“It’s an honor to represent FILA, a brand that has played such an important role for my father,” said Leo Borg. “I am grateful for this opportunity at such an early stage in my career.”

More about FILA:

ILA is a sponsor of the BNP Paribas Open, the Dell Technologies Tennis Hall of Fame Open, the Rogers Cup and Coupe Rogers, the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, the Mercedes Cup, the Argentina Open, the Rio Open, the German Open, and the Junior Orange Bowl International Tennis Championship. In addition to event partnerships, FILA is an official supplier to Tennis Canada, Junior Tennis Champions Center, Van der Meer Tennis, John Newcombe Tennis Ranch, and the Kim Clijsters Academy in Belgium.

The Aussie, predictably, has been at it again….
Nick Kyrgios will be a bit lighter in the wallet when he gets to Wimbledon. The Aussie was fined € 15K ($17,550) for “inappropriate behavior” by tournament supervisor Lars Graff after simulating a lewd act with a water bottle during his loss to Marin Cilic in the semifinals at the Fever-Tree Championships.

The Aussie, 23, heads to Wimbledon with a ranking of 19 in the world. He was in rude form in other ways at London last week as well. He hammered 32 aces in back-to-back matches to reach his first career semifinal at Queen’s Club.

Julien Benneateau will take over for Yannick Noah on the Fed Cup side for Les Bleus Amelie Mauresmo has been named France’s first female Davis Cup captain, while Julien Benneteau has been named as the Fed Cup captain, the French Tennis Federation announced on Saturday.

Mauresmo was quick to credit her term coaching Andy Murray as a factor in her progression to captaincy.  Murray and Mauresmo worked together for nearly two years before splitting in 2016.

"I am thinking of Andy because without him I would not be here today," the 38-year-old said on Saturday. "He had confidence in me when others thought that it was an aberration."

Both Benneteau and Mauresmo will replace Yannick Noah, who held both posts, guided France to its third Davis Cup title in 2017.
