Wuhan Open 2019: Simona Halep looks to improve record in Asia, advances to last 16 with emphatic win over Barbara Strycova

Wuhan: Simona Halep said that winning her first Wimbledon title this year meant “everything”, but she was determined to have a better Asian swing than in past years after an emphatic start to her Wuhan campaign on Tuesday.

Reuters Simona Halep lifts the Venus Rosewater Dish at Wimbledon 2019 for the first time in her career. Reuters[/caption] Halep suffered opening-round exits in three of her previous five appearances at the Chinese event — including the last two seasons — but was dominant in a 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Wimbledon semi-finalist Barbora Strycova to reach the last 16. A solid contender for clinching one of the six remaining spots in the WTA Finals in Shenzhen, sixth-ranked Halep also has a shot at finishing the year as World No 1 for a third consecutive time with a strong finish to the season in Asia. “Very, very tough goals honestly After winning Wimbledon, I was a little bit let’s say more relaxed in results, making big results. But I’m still motivated. I’m working hard,” said the fourth seed, who next faces Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina for a place in the quarter-finals. “For this period I just want to be better because every year I promised myself that I will do the best that I can, and I couldn’t for different reasons. Now I feel healthy, I feel motivated, I feel fresh. I just want to go there and win every match I play.” Halep recently announced that she will be reuniting with coach Darren Cahill from the start of 2020 and the Romanian is convinced that they can pick up where they left off last year when the Australian had helped her win a maiden Grand Slam title at the 2018 French Open. “I’m really happy and I feel confident that next year I can do some good things again,” she said. Halep skipped past Strycova in just 85 minutes on Tuesday, benefiting from her opponent’s 30 unforced errors.
