Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakawhiwhia e Simona Halep te taitara nui rawa atu o tana umanga i a ia e whawhai ana mai i te taha o te taha ki te patu i a Jelena Jankovic ki te BNP Paribas Open i Indian Wells. He maha nga wa i titiro iho ai te Romanian ki raro, i a ia e whawhai ana ki te raru o te waewae, ana ka hoatu e Jankovic ki a ia te mana nui i te wa i paahitia ai e ia te tupono ki te mahi mo te taitara tuarua o Indian Wells. Engari i te mutunga ko nga ahuatanga whawhai o Halep, i honoa ki te koretake o Jankovic i tino haere ki nga waahanga i te wa e haere ana te tukinga, i whiwhi i te uri tuatoru i runga i te raina 2-6, 7-5, 6-4. 'Kei te hiahia ahau ki te mihi ki a Jelena he mea whakamiharo koe,' ka mea mai tetahi Halep atawhai i muri mai. 'I taku pakeke i toa koe i tēnei whakataetae, he pai te mahi mō te wiki nui, he mahi nui, he whakamutunga whakamiharo. I riro i a Simona Halep te taitara BNP Paribas Open me tana wikitoria i a Jelena Jankovic i te whiringa toa. 'E tino harikoa ana ahau i te wikitoria i tēnei rā. He mea whakamiharo tēnei whakataetae, ka whakawhetai ahau ki ngā tāngata katoa o Romania i haere mai ki te tautoko i ahau i ngā wāhi katoa. Māu koe e whai kia whawhai au tae noa ki te mutunga. 'Kei te tino harikoa ahau ki te wikitoria i tēnei, ko taku taitara nui rawa atu, e kore au e wareware.' Kaore i te ahua he whakanui mo Halep i te timatanga i te mea ko te Serbian Jankovic te rangatira. I whakawhiwhia e ia te painga tuatahi, i te tango i te whakamutunga o nga tohu pakaru e rima ki te haere mai ki tana huarahi i te keemu whakatuwhera i te wa i whiua ai e Halep tetahi ringa roa, engari i pakaru tonu ia. I puritia e ia mo nga keemu e rua i muri mai, engari ka neke atu a Jankovic ki mua, ka huri i te 30-0 ki te wehenga tuarua mo te 3-2. Koinei te whakamutunga o Halep i roto i te huinga, i te mea e mahi ana a Jankovic i nga takaro e rua, ka tango ano i tetahi atu ki te mahi a te Halep forehand hei tango i te huinga 6-2. I haere mai te Romanian mai i muri ki te wikitoria 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 i te koraha o California i te Ratapu. I mihi a Halep ki tana hoa whawhai a Jankovic i muri i tana wikitoria i te taitara i Indian Wells. I karanga a Halep ki te kaiako, ā, i te mea i mahi i tōna waewae mauī i te wā o te okiokinga, engari i pai tonu tana titiro i a ia e hoki ana ki te marae, ā, i riro i a ia te kēmu tuatahi o te tuarua, hei whakamutu i te rima o ngā kēmu i te aroaro o...
