WTA goes inside a practice with Halep and Cahill

Published January 17, 2020

In Adelaide, the WTA went inside Simona Halep's practice as she took to the court with coach Darren Cahill.

"Every time you yell at me it's going to cost you a couple hundred dollars," Cahill warned his star pupil.

He was referring to her pledge to donate $200 for every time she gives him a hard time—though it's for during her matches.

After a little bit (ok a lot 😂) of debate with my team, I'm happy to announce that I'm donating $2000 to the bushfires for giving @darren_cahill a hard time "only" 10 times during tonight's match.

Not a bad start? 🤔🤣#Aces4BushfireRelief pic.twitter.com/UnvmB4gOK0

Halep opened her 2020 season with a win over Ajla Tomljanovic, but then lost to Aryna Sabalenka. She's the No. 4 seed in Melbourne, where she'll open against Jennifer Brady.
