After capturing her first title of the year in Rabat two weeks ago, Timea Bacsinszky arrived at the Mutua Madrid Open with a new trophy in her bag — but also a fairly empty tank, trying to navigate her way through the draw on the few reserves she had left. Madrid champion Simona Halep eventually ended her campaign in the Spanish capital. Afterwards she headed straight to Rome to recover, prepare for the tournament and get inspired by the eternal city. René Denfeld caught up with the 26 year old after her second round win over Lesia Tsurenko.
