Video: Halep’s Next-Level “D”
Simona Halep
and
Varvara Lepchenko
kept night session crowds entertained well into the night on Sunday at the BNP Paribas Open, thanks to awesome points like this.
Halep, who has stressed the importance of being a “fighter” in recent weeks, showed no quit on this defensive gem. Watch how the Romanian runs down Lepchenko’s forehand, throwing up a fantastic lob after making contact on the full sprint.
It’s a beautiful shot, but Halep’s big problem at this point becomes the fact that she ends up technically in the next town over when she realizes that it has landed in. But the world No. 3 shows true grit—and lung capacity—by sprinting back to the center of the court to rejoin the rally.
And wouldn’t you know it. Halep wins the rally, the game, and the match to set up an intriguing round of 16 matchup with
Karolina Pliskova
.
Turns out being a fighter girl suits Simona Halep quite well.
