Simona Halep played really well at the WTA 1000 event in Toronto and she hoped to continue her winning streak also at the 2022 US Open.
However, already in the first round of the tournament, she lost to world no. 124, Daria Snigur and so the last Grand Slam of the season ended for the experienced Romanian in a disappointment. After the tournament, Simona Halep's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou summed up the tournament, stating:
"Unfortunately it is the end of our US season. It ended with a big disappointment right after a great result with the title in Toronto. Whatever happens, good or bad, what always counts the most is the trust in the process, and the deep feeling of doing the right things to get where we want to be," stated Mouratoglou.
"Thank you Simona Halep for giving everything every single day. It is all a coach could ask for. Thank you team. Thanks to all the fans and special one to the Romanians for being incredibly supportive both in victory and defeat.Time to prepare for the next challenges."
