The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Despite playing just one game since October, Halep insisted she was fit and ready to go.
“I practised very well these past few days. I’m looking forward actually to the start. But I have three more days, so I will chill another day, then I will start to be focused for what I have to do during the match,” she said.
Along with the injury, another low point of 2018 was losing coach Darren Cahill, who left to spend more time with his family.
Halep said the team around her was close-knit and finding a suitable replacement was not easy.
But she suggested that could change soon.
“Every time you commit to someone in your team, you have to give 100 percent. So I was not ready in the off-season,” she said of hiring a new coach.
“Now I’m feeling that I’m getting better. As I say always, at this level it is impossible without coach. So maybe in the close future I will have someone. But for the moment, I’m just by myself.”
