Simona Halep is preparing for fiery duels at the 2022 Australian Open, a Grand Slam tournament scheduled from January 17 to 30. The 5 players from Romania found out their opponents in the 1st round of the Australian Open

If she gets past Magdalena Frech, Simona Halep will play against Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia or a sportswoman from qualifying. In the third round, the long-awaited duel between Simona Halep and Emma Răducanu can take place, writes GSP.

In order to reach the duel with Halep, Răducanu must pass Sloane Stephens and, later, montenegrin Danka Kovinic (27 years old, 99 WTA).

If Simona Halep started the year excellently, triumphing at Melbourne Summer Set 1, Emma Raducanu still does not find he after the title won in New York in the autumn. In the first match of 2022, the British lost 0-6, 1-6 to Elena Rybakina.

It would be the first direct confrontation between the player with Romanian origins and the idol of her childhood.

Sorana Cîrstea, Gabriela Ruse and Irina Begu also represent Romania at the Australian Open.

Sorana Cîrstea had a difficult draw, notes GSP. She will meet Czech Petra Kvitova (31 years old, 21 WTA), a former Australian Open finalist.

Gabriela Ruse (24 years old, 82 WTA) will face Jasmine Paolini (26 years old, 52 WTA), and Irina Begu (31 years old, 58 WTA) will meet Oceane Dodin (25 years old, 96 WTA).
