- Simona Halep will channel her inner child when she begins her French Open title defense against Ajla Tomljanovic on Tuesday having vowed to enjoy herself in the absence of the stifling pressure of previous campaigns in Paris.
Halep, twice runner-up at Roland Garros before lifting the Suzanne Lenglen Cup last year for her first Grand Slam title, said being a champion had made it easier to cope with the challenge of repeating the feat. “Everything comes now comes as a bonus. So I’ll try just to give my best and to see if I’m able to do it again.
Halep’s new outlook on tennis has given rise to questions about her motivation but the 27-year-old is determined not to let them have a negative impact.
