Darren Cahill, a renowned coach who helped Simona Halep to Grand Slam glory, said on Monday there was "no chance, none, zero," that the former world number one purposely took drugs.
(Reuters) - Simona Halep's former coach Darren Cahill said there is "no chance" the two-times Grand Slam champion had knowingly taken a prohibited substance after she was provisionally suspended for failing a drugs test.
Ash Barty has requested that Simona Halep be allowed to play the opening women's singles match at Wimbledon this year, suggests the Australian's former coach Craig Tyzzer. Former world No. 1 Barty, who retired from tennis in March aged 25, opened Wimbledon at the 2021 edition despite not being the defending champion at the time.
Emma Raducanu may not be given the honour of opening play on Centre Court at Wimbledon this year after retired defending champion Ash Barty made a request to the All England Club. As part of the tournament's tradition, the reigning men's and women's singles champions open play on the main showcourt on the first two days but the Aussie retired earlier this year so has asked for someone else to take her place.
Simona Halep will benefit from working from Serena Williams’ long-time coach Patrick Mouratoglou, according to Eurosport expert Mats Wilander. It was announced earlier this year that two-time major winner Halep had enlisted the help of Mouratoglou.
Simona Halep says she has «the fire back» after registering her first win with her new coach Patrick Mouratoglou. The two-time Grand Slam champion was on the brink of retirement after an injury-plagued 2021 and admits she was not sure if she would be able to get back to her best. She ended her long-time partnership with Darren Cahill last winter.
Simona Halep is already seeing the benefits of working with Patrick Mouratoglou as she feels her new mentor has helped to “open up” while she hopes he can help her to achieve her goal of winning a hard-court Grand Slam.
