Evert: Halep Poised for Major Breakthrough
Simona Halep
will battle a creaky Achilles injury and a feisty
Svetlana Kuznetsova
in the Sydney semifinals.
While the world No. 2 continues to push for her first career title on Australian soil, a former No. 1 believes Halep is poised for a major breakthrough this season.

Hall of Famer
Chris Evert
says Halep is her pick as the next woman to win her first career Grand Slam title.
"I think Halep could win a major," Evert told the media in a conference call to promote ESPN's coverage of the Australian Open. "Simona has never won a major. She's come close. She reached the finals of the French. I think, again, she's been taking baby steps the last year. She would take three steps forward, two steps back.
"I think she never really fulfilled the potential she had last year. Whether it's mental or emotional, just didn't seem to come together for her. I think in 2016 you'll see more of her getting her act together and being more comfortable as the No. 2 player or No. 3. "
Halep reached the US Open semifinals last summer.
Working full-time with coach
Darren Cahill
, Halep is trying to play with more patience. Evert believes it's a matter of time before the 24-year-old Romanian is raising Grand Slam silverware.
"She'll feel more comfortable. I think certainly working with Darren Cahill is going to be a plus for her," Evert said. "He's a pretty good coach. I'll put my money on her."
