- Former world No 1 makes announcement to home fans
- ‘I’m making this decision with my soul,’ she says
The former world No 1 Simona Halep has announced her retirement after enduring a resounding defeat in her first match of 2025.
Halep belatedly got her season under way in her home event, the Transylvania Open, in Romania on Tuesday, after being handed a wildcard. But the two-time grand slam title winner secured just two games as Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti powered to a 6-1, 6-1 victory in just 59 minutes.
