Simona Halep and field trips: “She’s a master at this”

The Frenchman of Greek origin is impressed by the way Simona moves on the field, she is a “master” at this.

“Movement is key in our sport. Driving is the efficiency of the footwork, as well as the recognition of the quality of the stroke and the movement accordingly.

The depth, angle, speed, spin of the ball on each shot gives us a sense of the response we might get from the opponent, and placement should take that into account. Simon is a master at this” – Patrick Muratoglu on Instagram.
