Halep comprehensively beat Garbine Muguruza in their French Open semi-final earlier today.
It will be the third time the Romanian has reached the final of the tournament in Roland Garros but she is still looking for her first Grand Slam title.
Halep has struggled in the first set of matches so far in the tournament and was asked about that today after beating Muguruza 6-1 in the opener.
“You finally found the secret, how to play a great first set today,” a reporter said to her in the post-match press conference.
I will keep it for the final and after I will tell you
“Do you want to share the secret with us, or do you want to keep it to yourself so you can use it again in the final?”
Halep did not abide and jokingly claimed she will reveal all after Saturday’s final.
“Yeah, I will keep it for the final and after I will tell you (smiling),” she said.
