Simona Halep is a Romanian professional tennis player who has won six WTA singles titles, including two Grand Slam singles titles. She also holds the distinction of being one of only seven female players who have reached at least the semifinals of all four Grand Slams. When she was just 17 years old, she became the first Romanian woman ever to win a WTA tour event by claiming victory in Bogota in 2008-2009. And this year, after beating her long time rival Serena Williams for her second major title at Roland Garros, Simona Halep became No. 1 on August 12, 2018, and she’s currently ranked #1 in Women’s Tennis Association rankings as well as the world’s best women’s tennis player (August 16, 2018).
