Article

Simona Halep ( Romanian pronunciation: [siˈmona haˈlep]; born 27 September 1991) is a Romanian former professional tennis player. She was ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for 64 weeks, including as the year-end No. 1 in 2017 and 2018. Halep won 25 WTA Tour–level titles, including two majors at the 2018 French Open and the 2019 Wimbledon Championships.

A French Open junior champion and former junior world No. 1, Halep first broke into the world's top 50 at the end of 2011, the top 20 in August 2013, and the top 10 in January 2014. She won her first six WTA titles in the same season in 2013, the first to do so since Steffi Graf in 1986. This led to her being named the WTA Most Improved Player of the year. Halep finished runner-up at three majors—the 2014 French Open, 2017 French Open, and 2018 Australian Open—before winning her first major title at the 2018 French Open. Halep also finished runner-up at the 2014 WTA Finals to Serena Williams, whom she went on to defeat to claim the 2019 Wimbledon Championships. From 27 January 2014 to 8 August 2021, Halep was ranked in the top 10 for 373 consecutive weeks, the eighth-longest streak in WTA history. During this seven-year span, she finished each year ranked within the world's top four.
