This is the Romanian's first final on the WTA Tour since returning from her injury earlier this season. Her new coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, took to Instagram on this occasion to congratulate her on the achievement.

She revealed that before they started working together, she lacked motivation after her injury struggles in recent years, and credited the Frenchman with brining "the fire" back. "Well, first I would say that when I, before I met him, I was super down with my motivation. And like, I couldn't really work, keep working. And I was almost done with tennis. So he brought this fire back and the motivation. He trusted that I still can play good tennis. And he transferred this to me. So, yeah, we are doing a good team, in my opinion. I trust him. I trust what we are doing. And I can show with the results because I'm in the semifinals again. So I'm improving. I'm working hard. Hopefully I can do much better in the future." said Halep.

Speaking at her post-match press conference after prevailing over Pegula, the Romanian lavished praise on Mouratoglou once more, revealing that training at his academy gave her the fighting spirit back. "Patrick. He brought [the fire back]. And the vibe from the academy gave me the energy. To see all those kids fighting every day to touch the dream that they have. I felt that I still can do it. I still have it inside myself. So that's why I'm still working hard," Halep said. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Shyam Kamal × Feedback Thank You!
