"There is a fire in her eyes" - Radwanska on Halep at 2022 Wimbledon

Agnieszka Radwanska has discussed the "more aggressive tennis" being employed to good effect by Simona Halep at Wimbledon in a recent exclusive interview with Eurosport.

Halep, the 2019 champion at the All England Club, booked her place in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon with a straight-sets victory over Paula Badosa. She will next face Amanda Anisimova on Wednesday.

"I saw her matches this year here. She looks very good - [there is a] fire in her eyes. She is really trying to play more aggressive tennis and is serving pretty well, so I think she can do it [win the title] this year. I think Simona can also play good tennis on the grass. She is also more experienced at that level, so I still think [Halep] can win the whole thing."

She further said:

"I think the top 10 is pretty open. I think there are a lot of players playing at the same level. I think Iga Swiatek and Ash Barty, before she retired, are the only two players that are playing very consistently, very powerfully. Those two - that would be like [Novak] Djokovic and [Rafael] Nadal at the moment in men’s tennis. I think those kinds of years… everything is going to change. A lot of older players retired and now it is an open space. So I think we will wait for the new generation coming in [and there will be a] time when we’re all going to see the same names, like before, in the top 10."
