Simona Halep

Tennis player Simona Halep for a long time got rid of the title of "forever second". The most terrible question for the girl at the press conferences was when she would please at least something from the Grand Slam. And when this happened, the athlete felt “unconditionally happy”.

Simona Halep, a Romanian by nationality, was born in the major port city of Constanta in September 1991. The father was in charge of the dairy, and the mother looked after the children - Simona and elder brother Nicolae. He brought his 4-year-old sister to the court, since he played tennis himself.

The first coach Ioan Stan quickly saw the potential in the girl and told her parents about it. They sold the house, took out loans to ensure their daughter's further promotion. In order not to depend on anyone, they refused the help of a fellow countryman, billionaire and former athlete Ion Cyriac.

The girl herself understood what a burden of responsibility she was carrying, so she laid out 100 percent in training. The result was not slow to show itself: according to experts, few people own such a way out under the ball and the ability to catch it on the racket.

Simone made the recognized leaders of world tennis nervous while still a junior. In 2008, Halep made it to the semifinals of the Australian Open, won international championships in Italy and Sweden, junior Roland Garros. Two years later, the tennis player got into the grid of the WTA adult tournaments, held in France, Croatia, Belarus and in her native Romania. The assertive girl was inferior to rivals from the first hundred.

In April 2010, Simona celebrated her first singles appearance at the Women's Tennis Association. In addition, she chalked up points from the Australian Open, matches in Paris and Biberach. At Roland Garros, Halep met the strongest tennis player of those years, Samantha Stosur.

In 2011, Halep was in the top 40 tennis players in the world. The athlete has participated in all major world tournaments. The performances were uneven, victories and defeats followed each other. Simona beat Svetlana Kuznetsova in Canada and Elena Yankovic in Rome, lost to Alberta Brianti in Fez and Li Na in Wimbledon.

Halep's progress up the ranking ladder slowed down in 2012. The girl reached the final of the championship of the Brussels open premier series, and then lost at the start for four tournaments in a row, while playing not with the strongest rivals.

Season 2013 Simona finished 11th racket of the world, setting a personal record - 6 wins. A year later, the Romanian woman confidently entered the top ten and still holds the position to this day. No other tennis player from the current elite can boast of such stability.

2014 was marked in the Halep calendar with the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, the semifinals of the Wimbledon tournament, and a victory at the Bucharest Open. At the US Open, Simone was defeated only by Serena Williams.

The following year brought the athlete the eighth title at the Shenzhen Open, as well as awards from the competitions in Dubai and Indian Wells. However, Halep lost the championships in Miami, Stuttgard and Rome, and in Toronto she withdrew before the end of the match. At the American Open, Simone was stopped by Flavia Pennett a step away from the final. The tennis player could not defend the honor of the national team at the Federation Cup. Nevertheless, 2015 ended positively - on the 2nd line of the standings.

The rise began in the summer of 2016. Halep won another title in Madrid, went to 1/4 in the US Open and on English courts, to 1/8 in French courts, to the semifinals in Cincinnati. Defeated Simone at home, at the BRD Bucharest Open, and at the tournament in Montreal. In the semifinals of the Cincinnati Masters, the tennis player lost only to the future first racket of the world Angelica Kerber.

In October 2017, Simona became the first tennis player from Romania to top the WTA rankings. On the way to success, Halep fought with Katezhina Sinyakova and Naomi Osaka, Coco Vandeweghe and Eliza Mertens, went through the courts of Shenzhen, Doha, Miami.

In an attacking style, the athlete overthrew Garbin Mugurusu from the podium, and before her, 3 more people had been to the top during the season. Such a frequent change of leader was last observed in 2008. At the same time, Halep, like Amelie Moresmo, Dinara Safina and Karolina Plishkova, did not have a single victory in the Grand Slam tournaments.

Simona could have headed the list of the best even earlier, had the girl not lost in the matches with Elena Ostapenko, Joanna Conte and Carolina Garcia. Upset Halep then said that, apparently, she did not deserve to become the first racket in the world.

When talking about the life of a tennis player off the court, the first thing to remember is the breast reduction surgery performed by Simona. The peculiarity of the figure, which in another situation could only be envied, gave the girl a lot of inconvenience. The press sarcastically that spectators come to matches only for the sake of Simone, and not out of sports interest.

Hardly waiting for her 18th birthday, Halep sacrificed the bust to her sporting achievements. In addition to the growth of results, Simone received a generally beautiful, proportional addition. The weight of the athlete is 60 kg, height is 168 cm, and with such modest parameters, she sends the ball flying at a speed of 170 km / h.

Simona spends her free time watching "non-trivial comedies" or films with her favorite actress Julia Roberts. After 30 years, the girl plans to have a husband and children, but for now rumors about Halep's pregnancy remain rumors.

The Romanian's boyfriend is a former professional tennis player Radu-Marian Barbu. With her former lover named Chorea Tekau Simona performed in the mixed category.

Throughout her sports career, Khalep has replenished her bank account with more than $ 21 million in prize money alone. The sportswoman's earnings also consist of deductions under contracts with Adidas, Nike, Mercedes-Benz and the telecommunications holding Vodafone.

The 2017/2018 season turned out to be almost the best in the career of Simona Halep. The tennis player took the main prize of the French Open Roland Garros on the third attempt and became the second Romanian after Virginia Ruzici to win this trophy. By the way, Ruzichi is Simone's agent.

According to Daria Kasatkina, this is a natural result of hard work and patience. In an interview with the press service of the Women's Tennis Association, the girl said that she had fulfilled her dream and was now aiming at the Olympics. First of all, Khalep thanked her relatives for their support, and posted a photo of the happy moment on Instagram.

Despite the disappointing score in the English Open, Simone still retained the first position in the WTA rankings at Wimbledon. In the third round of the Major, the Romanian athlete lost to her rival from Taiwan Se Su-Wei. Experts predicted a change in the leader at the end of the tournament, they could be Sloane Stevens or Caroline Wozniacki, but on the condition that the American wins the final, and the Danish woman does not need a victory. As you know, luck was on the side of Halep.
