Former World No.1 and Romanian tennis player, Simona Halep has said that she was really happy Dominic Thiem won the US Open 2020. In a recent press conference, the 28-year-old player revealed that she could totally relate to Thiem. She told the press that just like Thiem, she too had lost three finals before winning one. She believed that Thiem deserved the title after all his hard work.
“I was really happy for him, because, you know he lost three finals. I’ve been there myself three times down in the finals and then I won it. So, I feel like he’s really deserving it,” said Halep.
Although she didn’t watch the final, she was happy for Thiem when she checked the scorecard of the match. She even reserved some praise for the young Alexander Zverev.

“I was very very sad that I didn’t watch the final because I saw the score,” regretted the two-time Major winner.
“I woke up around 4:30 a.m and I had a message from my brother earlier. He said it’s 2-0, down, ‘team’ (Thiem). Poor guy! Another final. When I saw the message, I went straight to the app. I saw the score and I was really happy for him. I am sure it was a drama match.”
