Portretul Simonei Halep de la Australian Open

Simona Halep, aflata pe locul 2 WTA, este una dintre favoritele primului turneu de Grand Slam al anului, nu putini fiind aceia care considera ca romanca ar putea castiga primul astfel de titlu din cariera sa.

Simonei a dobandit greu increderea, insa odata ce a reusit acest lucru, vrea sa aiba un cuvant greu de spus in anul 2016, scrie site-ul Australian Open, intr-un amplu articol cu titlul "Pretendenta la trofeu Halep crede in sfarsit ca acolo ii este locul".

Simona Halep, fara obiectiv la Australian Open: E tot ce pot sa fac acum

"A fost o vreme cand Simona Halep se inclina in timpul conferintelor de presa, aplecandu-se sa raspunda intrebarilor, ca si cum cuvintele ei ar fi putut sa nu ajunga la microfon. Era deja locul 3 mondial in clasamentu WTA, una dintre cele mai bune si mai admirate de pe planeta.

Te intrebi daca stia acest lucru. Altii stiau asta, insa - familia, antrenorii, adversarele au fost cuceriti de imaginea perfecta a jocului romancei", se arata in articol.

"Sezonul sau 2015 poate ca a fost stricat de accidentari si instabilitate in afara terenului, insa a fost marcat de o noua incredere - sentimentul ca Serena si Maria Sharapova nu mai sunt idoli, ci rivali.

(...) Simona Halep stie unde ii este locul, iar in 2016 intentioneaza sa dovedeasca acest lucru", mai scrie in articol, precizandu-se ca vizeaza o medalie olimpica si ca va fi o pretendenta la titlu la toate turneele de Grand Slam ale anului, inclusiv la Australian Open.

"Poate ca Halep este micuta - cea mai scunda jucatoare din Top 10 - insa nu mai este 'mica stea' a WTA, cum s-a numit singura in sezonul 2013, in care a crescut spectaculos", se mai arata in articol.

Tenismena din Romania va debuta la Melbourne impotriva jucatoarei din China Shuai Zhang, locul 132 WTA, care a depasit-o greu, cu 4-6, 6-2, 8-6, pe frantuzoaica Virginie Razzano, locul 209.

In varsta de 26 de ani, Zhang a fost locul 30 WTA in anul 2014 si are un singur titlu WTA in cariera, la Guangzhou, in anul 2013, cand a invins-o pe americanca Vania King. In schimb, nu a depasit niciodata primul tur in turneele de Grand Slam.

Cele doua jucatoare s-au mai intalnit o singura data, in anul 2012, in primul tur de la Indian Wells, Simona castigand categoric atunci, scor 6-1, 6-1.

Daca va trece de jucatoarea din China, Simona Halep va intalni in turul al doilea pe invingatoarea dintre Alize Cornet (locul 42 WTA) si Bojana Jovanovski (locul 82 WTA).

Serena Williams - planul pe 2016

Liderul clasamentului WTA, Serena Wiliams, ia in calcul sa evolueze si in proba de dublu mixt a Jocurilor Olimpice de la Rio, din vara, si astfel sa castige trei medalii olimpice de aur.

"Mi-ar placea sa o fac. Nu stiu, totusi. Sunt o multime de meciuri. Vom vedea", a spus Serena, sambata, inainte de turneul de Grand Slam de la Australian Open, care va incepe luni, relateaza NBC Sports.

Serena Williams are trei medalii olimpice de aur la dublu, castigate cu sora sa, Venus, iar in 2012, la Londra, a castigat pentru prima oara medalia de aur la simplu.

Niciun alt jucator de tenis nu a castigat pana acum medalia de aur la cele trei probe olimpice. Proba de dublu mixt a revenit in programul olimpic in 2012, pentru prima oara din 1924.

Printre potentialii parteneri pe care i-ar putea avea numarul 1 WTA in aceasta proba se numara John Isner si Jack Sock. Serena a jucat in echipa cu Isner la Cupa Hopman din 2015 si a jucat un singur meci de dublu mixt la turneele de Grand Slam, in ultimii 16 ani - cu Bob Bryan, in 2012, la Roland Garros.

Serena Williams si Maria Sharapova au avut probleme medicale in ultimele saptamani, insa cele doua jucatoare au anuntat, sambata, ca sunt pregatite pentru primul Grand Slam al anului, cel de la Australian Open.

Americanca nu a jucat un meci important de patru luni, de cand a pierdut in semifinalele turneului de la US Open, insa sambata a spus ca este sanatoasa, in ciuda faptului ca s-a retras de la meciurile disputate in acest an, scrie The New York Times.

Serena a acuzat probleme la genunchi, insa acum a precizat ca nu mai sufera din cauza vreunei accidentari.

"Sunt un pic obosita astazi", s-a scuzat numarul 1 mondial. Intrebata daca este pregatita 100 la suta inainte de inceputul turneului, a replicat: "Nu, sunt la 120, 130 la suta acum. Stiti, in aceasta saptamana, in saptamanile dinainte de turneu, a fost mult de munca. De fapt am vrut sa am o zi mai usoara atazi. Insa pentru mine, in mintea mea, 'usor' inseamna doar doua ore de munca foarte intensa".

De asemenea, Maria Sharapova, care a fost chinuita de probleme medicale mai multe luni, in sezonul trecut, a spus ca se simte in forma si ca nu mai are nicio problema de sanatate, potrivit Sky Sports.

"Ma simt foarte bine, am ajuns la Melbourne mai devreme decat as fi vrut. Insa acest lucru mi-a dat sansa de a exersa aici in aceasta saptamana", a declarat si Sharapova.

Previziune pentru Halep: Nu va ajunge in semifinale la Australian Open

Simona Halep este in fata primului turneu de Grand Slam al anului, cel de la Australian Open, unde a ajuns in sferturile de finala, la ultimele doua editii. Insa pentru acest sezon expertii cred ca romanca nu va reusi sa depaseasca aceasta performanta.

Astfel, site-ul WTA Tennis considera ca Victoria Azarenka, a doua favorita a caselor de pariuri, dupa Serena Williams si inaintea Simonei Halep, va fi cea care va ajunge in finala, de pe jumatatea de tablou a Simonei Halep.

In plus, sursa citata pariaza ca jucatoarea din Cehia, Karolina Pliskova, invinsa in doua seturi de Simona in sferturile turneului de la Sydney, va fi cea care va castiga sfertul de tablou al romancei si va juca semifinala cu Bielorusa.

"Azarenka se gaseste in a doua jumatate a tabloului, una foarte deschisa, impreuna cu numarul 2 WTA Simona Halep, numarul 3 Garbine Muguruza, numarul 6 Petra Kvitova, numarul 7 Angelique Kerber si numarul 10 Venus Williams. Cu ingrijorarile legate de accidentari in ce le priveste pe Halep, Muguruza si Kvitova, dar si dupa victoria categorica in fata lui Kerber in finala de la Brisbane, Azarenka este favorita sa castige jumatatea inferioara de tablou", scrie sursa citata.

Azarenka se afla pe acelasi sfert de tablou cu Muguruza si Kerber.

"Karolina Pliskova si-a regretat performantele sub asteptari de al turneele de anul trecut, dar este o alegere la fel de buna ca oricare alta sa castige sfertul Simonei Halep", se arata in articol, pe acelasi sfert de tablou aflandu-se totodata si Venus Williams.

De asemenea, Sports Illustrated se asteapta la o confruntare intre Venus Williams si Simona Halep in sferturi, insa subliniaza ca romanca se numara printre jucatoarele cu probleme medicale care ar putea sa "cada" repede, din cauza tendonului lui Ahile, asa cum ar putea sa o faca Serena Williams din cauza genunchiului, Maria Sharapova din cauza bratului si Garbine Muguruza din cauza piciorului.

Tenismena din Romania va debuta la Melbourne impotriva jucatoarei din China Shuai Zhang, locul 132 WTA. Daca va trece de jucatoarea din China, Simona Halep va intalni in turul al doilea pe invingatoarea dintre Alize Cornet (locul 42 WTA) si Bojana Jovanovski (locul 82 WTA).
