Tennis : I am happy to be back' Simona Halep on defending her French Open title

One year on from her first Grand Slam victory, Simona Halep beamed with confidence on Friday as the third seed looked ahead to defending her French Open title at Roland Garros. The world number three returns to Paris with nothing but good memories and positive thoughts and is still savouring last year’s success. Halep has yet to win a title this year but her form has been strong during the clay season, which included a dominant run to the final at the Madrid Open, where she was lost to Kiki Bertens. The Romanian begins her quest for back to back French Open trophies against Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic.
