Martina Navratilova, winner of 18 Grand Slam tournaments, took a detailed look at the women’s circuit ahead of the 2022 US Open and picked a few players she thinks are capable of winning the title at Flushing Meadows (she also talked about Simona Halep).
Simona Halep, too quiet a person for New York
The former great listed several players in form, and as for Simona Halep, she said that her game and personality are not quite compatible with New York, so it will be difficult for the Romanian to impose herself at the last Grand Slam of the year (but she did not rule out the possibility). .
“It’s crazy what women’s tennis is right now. The winner, whoever she is, will surprise no one. I think there are many tennis players capable of success, and the one who is the most inspired will win. It seems very possible to me that we will see a new champion.
If I had to choose a few names, I would stop at these Madison Keys and Cory Gough. I think (Jessica) Pegula she doesn’t have an obvious weapon, so she doesn’t get noticed, but she is very consistent, moves and hits the ball well. Regarding (Maria) Sakkari, I think she’s a fighter, but she plays too tight, physically overworked, and emotionally she’s really too intense. In tennis, you have to play with intensity, but also feel free and relaxed.
Simona Halep he hits the ball well, but the serves here are fast. In New York he had trouble with the crowd, with the whole atmosphere of New York. He is more of a calm person, suitable for Wimbledon or Roland Garros. Yes, it is definitely a possibility (not to win the tournament).
(not about Emma Radukanu) It’s not easy to spend an entire season changing coaches and adopting different philosophies. Processing all the information coming your way will be difficult, but I wouldn’t rule out re-editing the title here.
I would say so Daria Kasatkina it is very dangerous and I think so Jill Teichmann must be carefully monitored. This must also be taken into account Petra Kvitova, who performed very well in Cincinnati, although he usually struggles to play in humid environments. I love how they compete Caroline Garciahere you can get a good result” – Martina Navratilovafor WTA.
In the first round of the US Open 2022, Simona Halep, the semifinalist of the 2015 draw and the 7th favorite, will play against the athlete Daria Snigur (124 WTA – Ukraine).
