This one hurts. Simona Halep was one of the reasons I fell in love with tennis—her relentless fight, insane court coverage, and the way she could turn defense into offense in the blink of an eye. More than a major champ. The game will miss her.
2x Grand Slam champion and former World No. 1 Simona Halep is retiring from tennis.
Simona is an incredible athlete, and has won more WTA titles (24) than any woman Romanian tennis player in history.
Best of luck in the next steps of your journey, Simona.
“Îmi place că am puterea să spun stop. Știi? Și să accept că a venit momentul, cu tot ce s-a întâmplat, să zic gata!” - @Simona_Halep ❤️

@Simona_Halep": Words cannot describe the feeling of being out there on court competing - and winning my first match after such a long period - in the sport I love. Thank you for all your support and your love, it means the world to me ❤️"
Muchas gracias @MutuaMadridOpen for this wild card opportunity. Madrid has always been a special tournament for me, with happy memories and I'm grateful to be able to make more. See you soon ♥️🇪🇸
Simona didn't win this match, she survived it. In visible pain with her legs for the majority of the match, she still found a way to win. And that's what champions do. Simona Halep defeated Anastasia Potapova 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
Simona Halep, recital pe Centre Court!
Simo a luat lucrurile fix de unde le-a lăsat acum mai bine de 1000 de zile, reușind o victorie minunată cu Paula Badosa: 6-1, 6-2. Sferturi la Wimbledon!

Ca o campioană! La revenirea la Wimbledon, Simona Halep câștigă în stil un meci potențial complicat, 6-3, 6-2 cu Karolina Muchova.
Momente de joc superbe pentru Simo.
Halep 🗣: I am sorry that I had to withdraw today before my semifinal match. But unfortunately I woke up this morning with a blocked neck and this is not allowing me to perform to the best of my ability.
