Simona Halep won the tournament in Toronto in mid-August and seemed confident in her own abilities before the US Open 2022, but our athlete was already eliminated in the first round of the Grand Slam in New York. Almost two days after the Romanian lost to Daria Snigur (124 WTA, qualifier), coach Patrick Muratoglu spoke about the result at Flushing Meadows.

Patrick Muratoglu disappointed after Simona Halep exits in first round of US Open 2022

The French technician of Greek origin said that the premature elimination of our athlete was a disappointment, but he is confident that Simona’s results will continue to improve.

“Unfortunately, now is the end of our season in the USA. It ended in great disappointment, right after a great result – the title in Toronto.

No matter what happens, good or bad, the most important thing is always trusting the process and having a deep sense that we are doing the right things to achieve where we want to be.

Thank you, Simona Halep, for giving your all every day. It’s everything a coach could wish for. Thanks to the team, Arno Restifo and Candice.

Thanks to all the fans, and especially to the Romanians, for their incredible support both during the victory and during the defeat. It’s time to prepare for the next challenges” – Patrick Muratogluon Facebook.
