I was fortunate enough to have an exclusive interview with Oana Simion. She’s currently the ITF World No. 1 female tennis player. Get to know her in the interview below:
TF: How and when did you start playing tennis?
OS: I started playing tennis when I was 5 years old in my birthtown in Romania. I was a very curious child and I wanted to know how tennis is played. And the tennis court was the place that I fell in love with.
TF: Do you have any tennis idols growing up?
OS: I was following different players, but I grew up watching Sorana Cirstea going up in the rankings.
TF: If given a chance, who is your dream doubles partner? How about a mixed doubles partner?
OS: I would like to play doubles with Kim Clijsters as she can teach me more from her experience. Mixed doubles is my favorite part of the game and I would love to share the court with Horia Tecau.
TF: What are your goals for the year given that COVID-19 happened? Any particular tournament you want to play or win?
OS: COVID-19 period has been a difficult time and now I would just want to enjoy every trip, every moment on court and to fight in every match.
TF: What’s your to-go food before and after a tennis match?
OS: Before a match, I like to eat a bar and a banana or a salad depending on the time of the match. After the match, I eat proteins.
TF: What’s your greatest achievement so far in your career?
OS: Reaching number 1 ITF is one of my biggest achievements.
TF: Any favorite Grand Slam match that you got inspired with?
OS: A great match from women’s tennis is the final between Halep and Sharapova from Roland Garros back in 2016.

Ooohhhh….thank you for bringing Oana closer. I didn’t know about her. I will closely follow her, from now on wards.
I love Tennis – I think it’s a totally under rated sport so I also love that you spotlighted Oana! I have never heard of her before!
She is so focused on her goals. I think she’s going to continue to crush it out there.
Such a fun interview. It is always neat to learn more about athletes and their lifestyle.
nice interview!! well done. i like to hear what inspires her.
I really love tennis but I have not seen oana. Yes Maria Sharapova’s story I’ve read and its understandable why people think she’s curt. Oana seems fun to talk to and her answers were crisp.
I like watching tennis competition, and to be attending thr famous Wimbledon is the highlight of my tennis/travel dream. Thanks for sharing her awesome story. I will watch her career.
You are so lucky to have chance to interview her. She sounds like a really down to earth person. I wish her all the best and hopefully I see her play a match soon.
Can someone give me some tennis practice tips?
That’s awesome that you got to interview her. We love playing tennis and watches videos of tennis, unfortunately I have not seen her in any of the videos we watched.
That was a fun one and nice to know her more as a person than a sport’s star! I like Rafael Nadal though hahaha.
You must have been thrilled doing this interview. It doesn’t come so often that we get to meet one of the greats, but you did. Congratulations!
Congrats on your interview with Ona. This is a major accomplishment and opportunity!
