“As a tennis player, I have had many sources of inspiration and I always want to achieve at a high level, so it is an honor to encourage people to do so through this event, while raising awareness of the issue of gender-based violence. “- Simona Halep.

Simona Halep underwent nose surgery due to breathing problems
In an Instagram post, Halep announced that she had a nose job because she could no longer breathe properly, and it was at its worst during her days in Washington this summer.
“As some of you already know, I’ve had nose problems for a while and they got worse over the summer, especially in Washington. This problem made it difficult to breathe and even worse at night because my nose was completely blocked,” – Simona Halep on September 12 on her personal Instagram account.
