'I've always admired Roger Federer; he's a genius,' said Simona Halep

Never hiding that, Simona Halep has always been one of Roger Federer's greatest fans among the fellow players, ever since she met him as a junior and had a chance to speak with him.

In a recent interview, Simona praised Roger again, calling him a genius and saying that tennis is easy for him. Simona can't know much about Roger's comeback at the moment, but she would love to see him competing at Wimbledon and the Olympic Games, Roger's main targets in 2021.

"I've always admired Federer; he's a genius from my point of view. I think he will play for a while; it can be seen that he does it with passion. I don't know how much he will endure physically; you can feel the wear and tear after so many years.

But if he says he will play at Wimbledon and the Olympics, so be it. Federer did not have so many injuries because tennis is easy for him. Nadal's game forces him to spend more energy, which is why he was more injury-prone," Simona Halep said.
