Where are the Magazine Covers For Simona?
What does Simona Halep have to do to get the American press to appreciate her talent on the tennis court? Let's see Simona won 7 titles in 2013, was a finalist at Roland Garros this year, had more success in 2014. Oh yes and she beat Serena Williams in their first match at the World Finals! I first watched Simona play early in 2013, before she had won any WTA titles and could see the she was a terrific player with lots of potential. Simona quickly became my favorite female player with great court coverage and controlled aggression, not to mention terrific down the line shots and placement. Her interviews are honest and refreshing with humor and charm. Simona is always looking to improve her game and has managed to do so.
The media has for some reason ignored Simona Halep. Watching on TV her matches were almost completely ignored even when she was 5 in the world and recently 3 and 2. Many times Rennae Stubbs of Tennis Channel would make note of how Simona was being snubbed by the media.
