Simona Halep is a tennis player who left a serious mark in the world of tennis, and fans remember her performances with nostalgia, hoping to see her again on the tennis courts, at least in the near future. The Romanian tennis player retired in 2025, and most people wonder what was decisive for her decision.
In an interview with The National, 34-year-old Halep shared the reasons why she decided to leave tennis.
Although she previously thought about ending her career, the match against Lucia Bronzetti was an additional reason for her to make a decision earlier and realize that her body could no longer withstand the same efforts.
Simona Halep reveals that she never had a dilemma as to whether she made the right decision, knowing that she did the best for herself at that moment.

Perhaps other tennis players could follow her example, given that she was considered one of the best in the world for years. However, when injuries become a daily occurrence and you feel a lot of pain on the court, it is surely time to say "goodbye".
Simona Halep has done the best thing for herself, and the question is whether she will remain involved in the world of tennis in some other way as a coach or member of a tennis organization. It seems that these are not her ambitions at the moment, but Halep closely follows developments in the sport and enjoys watching it.
