Romanian tennis star Simona Halep has been one of the stars in the WTA in recent years. She displayed some sensational tennis during the 2018 and 2019 seasons. During those years, she managed to win the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships.
Recently, Simona Halep and her longtime coach Darren Cahill ended their partnership after six long years. During that period, they have enjoyed tremendous success, and to see them part ways is a disappointment for both of them and her fans. However, there is a possibility of Cahill joining the Emma Raducanu camp.

Halep on Cahill coaching Emma Raducanu
Even though Halep and her coach, Cahill, parted ways, there were no ill-feelings between the two as she talked glowingly about the Australian.
On the possibility of Cahill coaching Emma, Halep shared her thoughts, “It would be good for Darren. She is a girl with very, very great qualities and great potential to win Grand Slams and I would be happy for him. He’s passionate about coaching. I think he’ll rest a bit first, and then I didn’t talk about it, I think he’ll work with someone else. I can’t wait to see him on the circuit again and do well, I really want him. We will never be adversaries, I think we will remain friends forever.”
(Quotes translated using Google translate)
"Cred că înti o să se odihnească un pic, și după – nu am vorbit despre asta – cred că o să lucreze cu altcineva. Abia aștept să-l văd iar în circuit și să-i meargă bine, îmi doresc tare mult pentru el. Nu vom fi niciodată adversari, cred că vom rămne prieteni pentru totdeauna."
