Simona Halep was dumped out of the French Open by Chinese prodigy, Qinwen Zheng but all wasn't as it seemed for the former Roland Garros winner.
Losing 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, she said post match during her press conference that she suffered a panic attack which derailed her and caused a momentum shift. Scary for the former World No.1 who said she is fine now but was overthinking at the time.
"That was just a panic attack. It doesn't happen that much. I couldn't focus anymore. Now it's behind me and I can smile again," said Halep as reported by Tennis Majors.
"I will learn from this episode. It was overthinking. I was leading. There was no reason. But it happened. I have to accept it. It happens to everybody."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
