Simona Halep Best shots

Halep's greatest asset is her ability to blend offense and defense seamlessly. Her ability to transition from a precarious position to one of authority, by smartly redirecting her opponent's pace and angling the ball away from them, is second to none. Halep's backhand is one of the best in the world, both while attacking and defending. Her anticipation and foot speed are also important weapons in her arsenal, as she repeatedly extends points and ultimately elicits errors from the opponent. Halep's height and relative lack of power are the two most obvious shortcomings of her game. Her serve often sits up because it doesn't come down from a great height, and that leads to it being broken numerous times every match. With her groundstrokes, Halep is sometimes unable to generate the flat power required to end points quickly. That results in her getting involved in a few too many long drawn out matches, which in turn hurt her chances towards the latter stages of big tournaments.
