“To me, Simona Halep is the heavy favorite in the tournament. Heavy favorite because I think on the clay court she is probably one of the best in the world. If you look at her game, she has all the weapons that are necessary on clay.
“She is extremely difficult to put out of position she is not missing, she is playing with a lot of security in her shots and she is able to dictate and take the ball early which is important as well because you not going to win a Grand Slam by only defending, she can do both.”
Patrick Mouratoglou calls Simona Halep a fighter
Mouratoglou talked about the changes that have appeared in Halep’s character since she became a Grand Slam champion. The French coach labeled Halep as an ‘incredible fighter.’

“Her serve is her weakness but on clay, it’s not such a big weakness. And I will say that the big difference is not so much in her game but more first on her confidence because she has won Grand Slams now so she knows she can, she believes in herself.
