Simona Halep is a Romanian professional tennis player. She has been ranked world No. 1 in singles twice between 2017 and 2019.

Halep was the year-end No. 1 in 2017 and 2018.

Who is Simona Halep’s mother Tania Halep?

Simona Halep was born on 27 September 1991 in Constanța, Romania to Stere and Tania Halep, who are of Aromanian descent.

She has a brother Nicolae who is five and a half years older. Halep’s father played lower-division football for AS Săgeata Stejaru and worked as a zootechnics technician before becoming the owner of a dairy products factory.

He developed an interest in supporting his children’s athletic ventures as a consequence of wondering how far he would have progressed as a footballer if his parents could have provided him with more financial support when he was growing up.

When Halep was four years old, she started playing tennis after attending one of her brother’s training sessions.

When Halep was sixteen, she moved away from her family to train in Bucharest.
