VIDEO: Simona Halep wins January Shot of the Month

Simona Halep is once again a Shot of the Month winner as her winner against Aiava voted the best in January.

Her latest hot shot came in her first match of the year, in Melbourne at the Summer Set 1 event. Facing Destanee Aiava, Halep returned a difficult serve down the middle from the ad court, then scrambled back and forth before unloading an out-of-balance, down-the-line backhand winner. Halep would go on to win that match and ultimately the title, dropping only one set in the process.

This is not the first time Halep has won the honour as she did it last year in October. That shot ended up being voted shot of the year as well. Check out this latest one below.
