4. Love the support here.

For all the haters who said she‘ll never win a Slam because she‘s mentally weak, go choke on that. Everyone has their own timing and supposed failures are often just stepping stones in an individual‘s life.

If you know Simona Halep's story, you certainly teared up in the last few minutes. This moment was - for her - meant to happen in Paris. And it has #RG18

Spoke to players in Feb re Halep. I remember one saying (para): I admire and respect dominance. But I can’t relate to it. I can relate to losing. I know how hard it is to get up again. Watching her lose so often, so publicly, it was easy to relate. I felt for her. We all did.

Good for you @simona_halep 🏆

"When I was a little girl I didn't have the courage to dream for this moment, but when I started to think that I want to be a professional tennis player, when I was like 14 years old, I was dreaming of this trophy. Today it happened and I can't believe yet."@Simona_Halep#RG18 pic.twitter.com/Sw2fFGpw35
