Origin
and identity

Simona Halep used outstanding movement and disciplined baseline construction to reach No. 1 and win majors on clay and grass.

Halep's rise accelerated in 2013 when she won her first six tour singles titles. Repeated major finals tested her resolve before she finally won Roland Garros in 2018, recovering against Sloane Stephens.

A year later, she defeated Serena Williams at Wimbledon for another defining title. Those victories rewarded a game built on court coverage, timing and the ability to turn a defensive position into an attacking opportunity.
