Following a triumph at the Melbourne Summer Set 1, Simona Halep is in red-hot form as she sets her sights on the 2022 Australian Open.
It may not be the highest-profile tournament on Tour, but performing well at the WTA 250 Melbourne warm-up event may indicate a repeated success at the following Australian Open. Familiarizing oneself with a similar atmosphere, crowds, and court surfaces prior to a Grand Slam is a recipe for success, as performing in similar conditions later won’t be a difficult transition. Simona Halep has just secured the Melbourne Summer Set 1 and is now fixated on continuing her awesome results through to the big stage at the Aussie Open.
