Adrian Marcou is convinced that Simona Halep can return to the elite of women’s tennis

On Monday, Simona lost almost all points in the WTA rankings and fell 520 positions in one week.

In an interview with Gazeta Sporturilor, Adrian Marcu, Simona Halep’s former coach, talked about the Romanian’s chances of returning to the elite of women’s tennis, but he said he was shocked by how she handled her situation.

“It seems unreal to me what is happening with all this delay. To be honest, I’ve never heard of a situation that dragged on for so long and no conclusion was reached. What this conclusion will be after, I do not know, but you are trying to show what the situation really was.

Now the US Open is coming up, Montreal is over and he still has, I don’t know, a few points from the US Open. It is clear that at the moment you are at 0 points in the rating.

Now I gave something, they say, it’s good for me, because then I go to play. As long as he hasn’t played it will be very, very difficult but at least you have the light in front of you, Australia is going, I’m training, I’m playing but that’s it, wait.. .

I don’t even know how you wake her up, how you feel her every day. What is that feeling when you have no idea what situation you are in? I train, I don’t train, I don’t know, I don’t know. What is happening to him is unreal.

I can see her coming back and playing really well, the way we know her, especially now that she would have something to prove. Simone doesn’t give up, it would be a big surprise if she did, but I’m sure she doesn’t.

I look at what’s going on in the women’s tournament now, I’m sure she can rise again. He will need some time to get into the rhythm, but the ambition is good.” he said.
