It's not supernatural. It's something normal. by Simona Halep

It's not supernatural. It's something normal.

Everyone is fighting like crazy because it's the last Grand Slam. When you play the Grand Slams, you just have to give everything you have.

crazy fighting play

It's (the) third year, well, I'm disappointed. I had expectations from myself that I'm confident and I feel the game. But today was different. I was very close. I had match (point). But, you know, sometimes (it) happens.

I have just to look forwards, i'm Wimbledon champion, so I will not ruin that.

It's been like a dream since I left( Wimbledon). Even now, I'm living the dream, i felt positive and confident... like I reached my highest level of tennis. The first six months of this year were more relaxed because I was just trying to improve my game without thinking about the results.

The fact that I'm back in the quarter-finals here means a lot to me, it feels like I'm getting back the rhythm which I had in Wimbledon.

It's never easy to face a Grand Slam final. You can get intimidated by the moment. You can get nervous, too nervous, i have learned that it's a normal match. Once you win one you have the feeling you know how it is. You treat it a little bit easier, let's say. It's never easy but you treat it a little bit easier.

I'm very sure that was the best match of my life. by Simona Halep

I'm very sure that was the best match of my life.

I wanted this badly, when I started the tournament, I talked to the people from the locker room that my dream is to become a member here. So today it's real.

I have a better game these days. I play some drop shots, i use the slice more. The serve is helping me. Now when the ball is coming to me, I know what to do with it.

I can't say I feel bad (for my opponent), because I played my best tennis.

I need to be calm. Just focused on my game. Not thinking about my opponents and not thinking about the result.

It was against Garcia in the first set, when I fell down, i felt pain in the hip. If I'm not 100 percent I don't want to step on the court.

If I play well, if I play my best tennis, I have a better chance to become number one again, but it's not in my mind. I just want to find my rhythm, to find my level and just play as good as possible.

Playing again in the semi-finals is going to be a big challenge. And maybe I can do my best result here and play in the final, it's going to be a big match in the next round.

It was difficult for me to close out those sets, when I was leading the match, she played without fear.

I spent a lot of time in the city, which I don't do very often, i lived a normal life, which I enjoyed a lot. I met new people, stayed with friends.
