The famous Romanian tennis player Simona Halep, a former world number one and two-time Grand Slam champion, announced that she is retiring from professional sports after losing in the first round of the Cluj-Napoca tournament. Halep lost to Italian Lucia Bronzetti with a score of 1:6, 1:6.

In her farewell speech, she noted that she was making this decision with a heavy heart, but realized that her body could no longer withstand the necessary stress required to play at a high level. Halep thanked the fans and emphasized that she was happy to say goodbye to them on the court, regardless of the result.

According to the 33-year-old Romanian, life goes on after tennis, but she cannot compete at the same level at the moment. At the end of her speech, Simona did not rule out a possible return, but for now she considers this match to be her last.

Halep has long been one of the strongest tennis players in the world, winning Roland Garros (2018) and Wimbledon (2019), as well as 24 WTA singles titles.

In 2022, she was disqualified for doping, and upon her return in 2024, she played only six matches, winning only one. In addition, she was plagued by shoulder and knee injuries.

It should be noted that before achieving outstanding success in sports, the 25-year-old tennis player made a lot of noise among fans with her appearance. When she underwent breast reduction surgery at the age of 18 to reduce her breasts from a size six to a size two, the Romanian shocked her fans.

"My breasts made me uncomfortable during the game. Its weight made it impossible for me to react as quickly as possible to changes on the court and act with lightning speed," Halep complained at the time.

As OBOZ.UA reported, in October 2022, Simona Halep was temporarily suspended from competition and later disqualified for four years for doping. In 2024, she appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

The court reviewed the case and reduced the suspension to nine months. After that, the Romanian tennis player returned to the court in March last year.
