God Bless Simona, one of the best and you have been through alot. Good luck in your retirement you were one of the best and one of my all time favouirites
Not surprising. She was well off the pace today.
Great player in her pomp. Her career was butchered by the doping scandal.
Still, a legend, and one of my favourite players 👍
Really ? Could she still have competed with Swiatek, Sabakenka & Keys ? 🤔
@@tudormiller887 I think she'd have declined anyway, to be honest, but the doping ban definitely speed up the process. She was great in her day, though.
@@tudormiller887 Simona accomplished everything in Serena's time(and other strong players) so she will have done well with these players to.
Simona Halep deserved a great retirement show, on a grand slam or some special event for her, especially after the hard time she has had in last years.
Although some people from Romania didn't write well about our Iga Świątek, especially after her matches against Simona, I pay big respect for Simona Halep and her tennis career. One of the greatest female tennis players in the last decade, very gallant, courageous player. Thank you Simona and best wishes from Poland for your future. 👍🙌👏👏👏
Dear brother I can assure you not all Romanians feel that way about Iga. I remember a match between Iga and Simo at Rolland Garros, the commentator said Iga used the time she couldn't play during pandemic to finish her exams, that she has put school before tennis, and I said to my wife that every parent would like to have a child like her. She is an amazing person not just a tennis player. I wish her good luck and to hope she will retire with more trophies than Serena !
@@69svejk Thank you brother.
Yes, I think Iga is a good person and role model for youngsters. I do not think she will win more tournaments, especially grand slams than Serena Williams, but I wish her she will win Australian Open and Wimbledon. That would be nice.
Yes, I know of course that not all Romanians wrote some unfair things about Iga. Everywhere some people are decent and some people do not think before they write something about someone. Both in Poland and Romania or elsewhere. But I think our both nations have more in common than differences or disputes.
And I repeat - such player like Simona deserved to have some big event for the end of her tennis career. I am little bit shocked that she retired so suddenly and in such way. I hope she will find happiness in her future life.
Greetings from Poland.
@@KowalskyLeon you are absolutely right. Thanks to social media we get to see a lot of bitter opinions from people that probably never had to practice any sport. There’s nothing that can be done against this negativity but to ignore it and focus on the positive aspects of life.
Simona wasn’t sure about her retirement until this very last match. So nothing was prepared in advance. Hopefully one day she’ll get the retirement she deserves. People of Romania owe her that much after so many moments of joy she brought us.
Stay safe brother, best wishes!
@@69svejkwhy more than Serena. Serena also did school before tennis and was an educated queen. I’m guessing it has to do with your hatred for Serena because of her skin color yikes…
@ I’m sorry to disappoint you but that was not my intent. There’s an expression that say “ The one to beat “. That means I consider Serena to be the best woman player of all time. So what better wish you can make for a young player than to do better than the GOAT? Also I didn’t say Serena was uneducated, I said I admire Iga for putting the school first. And again I have a cousin that is an American citizen who married an Afro American woman and they came to our house and was always treated like family so I don’t know what are you talking about.
Awww, Halep. What a humble person. A Grand Slam champion (2 or 3 times) and a great ambassador for the sport of tennis 🎾🙂
Two . Her drug is more dangerous than melo anyday. Ho n checkout. Your fave took way dangerous ped. So sit down halep fan. U guys got humblepie 😂😂
Twice

@@ohaggie lmao
@@deepakmahajan-g3c Just say to find yourself saying something, without thinking and without trying to find the truth.
You’ll be missed Simona Halep! Great moments!!!
Wishing you the very best Simona...from the USA
One of my all time favourite tennis players,I will always remember her great Wimbledon win in 2019.
Will miss her on court. Amazing person on and off court :) Much love from Vancouver Canada :))
Thank you, champ !
You made us proud and we will be forever grateful!❤ We love you!
Felicitări pentru o cariera excepționala, SIMONA HALEP!❤
So long, champ. Watching you play was amazing. I will always remember you wipe the floor with Williams in an hour in the Wimbledon finals.
The trembling voice of both of them😢❤thank you Simo
Simona, esti o legenda a tenisului, fara dar si poate. Sa castigi 2 Grand Slam-uri, sa ajungi nr.1 mondial este wow. Respect urias pentru ce ai reusit Simona! Ai dat totul, iar acum, vine randul nostru, sa iti multumim pentru toti anii de munca, de lupta, ai facut o tara intreaga super mandra de tine si de performantele tale! Toate cele bune pe viitor!
Sad day. Simona. You have been for a long time my favourite but surely you will still be connected with tennis. I admired how you made the ”Sign of the Cross” while looking to the heavens, attesting your courage in asserting your faith. You will be sorely missed. Wish you abundant blessings in the years ahead. Warm greetings from Stockholm.
I don't know why but this beautiful amazing players career was targeted and destroyed by the usual behind the scenes powers that be. They always target the pure hearted ones. Hold your head up high Simona. You are loved by the real tennis fans. God bless you
😢 NOOOOO one of my favorite
Always loved to see this beautiful talented woman play
I am so sad to see end her career like that, she was such a good player
Agreed! I would have loved to see her win more Grand Slam titles.
We will miss you Simona ❤ Good athlete,good human being ❤
What an amazing career ❤️
Shame on WTA for doing her like this. You will be missed Simo, absolutely stunning player. Thank you for everything.
One of the greatest and talented tennis player of her generation... simply the best..❤
What a shame, they destroyed her 🎾 career. Good luck Simona 🩷
She destroyed her own career
Was it the WTA or Simona herself that destroyed her career ?
No she doesn't no way she used some drugs for better performance on the court.
Simona sei stata grande anche alla fine,spero di vederti come allenatrice perche tu ami tennis e la tua vita.Mancherai
Will miss her a lot. Great player. Lots of ❤ from Ontario Canada
😢😢😢😢😢 tellement triste pour toi , tu t es battue pour cette histoire de dopage tu as bossé comme une guerrière pour revenir , tu as eu un parcours exceptionnel des titres wta et grand chelem on ne t oublie pas 🎾🎾🫶🫶🫶🫶 bon vent et beaucoup de plaisir dans ta seconde vie 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Salah satu pemain yg saya tunggu penampilannya di wta tour. Happy retirement simona❤
Simona IGNORE the hateful comments. Lollipop suckers will hate out of yheir inability to give someone other than themselves - praise and Kudos. Thousands of your fans will miss you. Try Pickleball. You'll flourish there too.❤❤
I always found Halep a very special personality. Incredibly mature and graceful even at a young age. Very sweet person. I believe she is innocent of any deliberate wrong doing. I followed her whole career with great interest and was overjoyed when she won her slams. Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧❤️💛
Simona halep une grande championne une femme admirable ont l'adore
J'adore cette championne
You ll FOREVER be our #1 S1MONA 🇷🇴
I respected her even more, after she talked about having a panic attack during a match at French Open.
Simona was a fighter throughout her career. She's a great champion, but sadly, the failures of the anti-doping system knocked the fight out of her in the end.
I wish her the very best in the future.
Very sad to hear of this. She got f***ed by the tennis authorities.We were robbed of the last years of her greatness.Well, at least she made millions. Was privileged to see her live at the 2015 Cincinnati Open.
Best wishes Simona ❤
Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to. Start saving, keep saving, and stick to investments.
As a beginner what do I need to do? How can I invest,on which platform? If you know any please share.
There might be many investments out there but if profit must be considered,which is the actual sole of investment, I will advice you to go into bitcoin trading because it has higher profit than most investment.
Trading with a professional is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trading
That's exactly what I do, I invest with an expert named Michael Platt and thanks to his experience and skills, I am able to get the most out of my investment.
No doubts! Michael platt is very good,I invested $4k and withdraw $15k as my profit...
Im gna missed ya so much u were my idol I dore you but nevermind I respect ur decision simo god bless you so much
Iti urez sănătate multa Simo ne-ai facut mindri vit timp ai jucat tenis pt Romania❤ te vom iubi mereu
Te iubim Simo❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤mulțumim Simona!
Simona❤❤❤❤
I'll miss you on the courts :( my favourite!!
I am really sorry for what they done to her with the doping scandal,she had no choice but to retire and really she deserved better.All the best to her
❤❤Going to miss you simona i have watched you for years shame on wta for what they did to you all a set up i have aways believed in you as i know you love and breath this sport wishing you all the very best in the future goin to miss you you played from the heart god bless go and enjoy life now you are a champion ❤❤❤ ❤
Chased out of the game, and deserved better. And yet Sinner, Swiatek and probably many others, march on.
Personally I will remember Halep as the player that annihilated Serena 'Panic Room' Williams in the Wimbledon Final.
Good luck to her going forward.
Honestly, Sinner and Swiatek had nothing to do with her lot. She was a great player and the doping scandal was unfortunate. Let's end it there please.
@@kendaddi5857sinner tested positive TWICE and he’s still playing… be so for real
@@kendaddi5857 "unfortunate"?! It was much, much more and worse than that! It was incorrect, biased and ill-intentioned! With the sole purpose to stop her from achieving even more in her career!
You shouldn't point the finger at other players for the failings of the anti-doping system. Halep's situation is not Sinner's or Swiatek's fault.
@@lornawilliams550 It's not Halep's fault either. Sinner got popped twice, and yet here he is.
🥺😭🦋💕💖
One last time : SI-MO-NA!!!!!
SI.MO.NA.!!!!❤❤❤
Sorry for Simona and the #Doublestandards for Dopsinner!!!
one billionth of a gram which make contamination plausable and believable...Sinner is a kind-hearted and wonderful person who's dedicated to his craft
serena was allowed to dope her entire career....and the do this to simona...this was personal...this was targeted...this happened because she beat the cash cow serena, humiliating her in under an hour at wimbledon...absolutely shameful behavior
u mean "panic room" Serena..very true...she had muscles bigger than tiger woods when he was juicing
Hall of fame for sure
Simona was on top of the mountain, when she got doping charges. I still think those charges were wrongfully applied. She paid a dear price for that because of the commission. Shame shall always be their stain. Go in peace Simona. Find another passion.You will always be the best in my book.
She had a very tough few years and I feel she certainly been treated unfairly. A very good career being cut short unfortunately.
Numbet One dell mondo Simona Halep ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🕊️👏👏👏👏🤝🤗GOD BLESS YOU SIMONA ❤❤❤ I LOVE YOU 🫂 Dumnezeu să -i judece cu Dreapta judecată ! 🙌 😭😭😭
Thank You Simona. It would have been nice to see you win more Grand Slam titles. 👋
A brilliant career unfairly cut short. Loved watching her game and appreciated her humble and endearing personality. Thank you, Simona, and all the best in your future. ❤
You are young and now you can choose freely what to do in your "retirement" years. The two grand slams that you have won were absolutely spectacular to watch. Unfortunately, there were different rules back in 2018, 19 than recently. I always believed in your innocence.
AFTER NADIA COMANECI.. SIMONA HALEP!
LOVE HER...ENGLISH PLEASE
Thanks for all the memories Sim 💚you can definitely retire knowing you gave it your best. Enjoy the next chapter of your life
I admired how she got through her ban - also unintentional exposure - and wish her much happiness in retirement. Unlike Sinner who also had unintentional exposure but did not self-ban to ensure rules were followed consistently. So unprofessional and zero integrity - you have to question all his wins now. Integrity over wins.
A great player we'll miss you, good luck Simona!
This is a shame. She is too young to be retiring. However; the sport of tennis has no money in the lower rungs and few can maintain a schedule around playing international events without an income. Throw in an entourage of which she would have been accustomed and it's simply not tenable. The players at the top have not been vocal enough in demanding change to purse distribution. Federer - despite his legendary status in the game could have worked this element more attentively during his playing days. In the Challenger series you are looking at $10,000 - $20,000 for the whole shooting match top to bottom.
exactly..85 % of pro tennis players make basically zilch..a pro baseball player that hits 230 makes more in one year than 90% of women tennis players in their career..things need to change for these hard-working devoted tennis pros
I wished she announced it in English for her international fans as well
Si es lo mejor, no volvio como era antes, el tenis de hoy es muy veloz, su tenis quedo obsoleto, y su fisico no es el mismo despues del retiro.. Buena desicion., para no perder lo grande que fue, porque los mal hablados empiezan a hacerle mala propaganda, siempre es mejor retirarse, y que te recuerden por lo que uno fue.. Una ex n1.. Todo lo mejor para ti.. SIMONA..!. 😁👌
❤
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This is NOT shocking. Same thing happens to several players on performance enhancement drugs. Once they come off them their level completely drops. Same thing happened to Sharapova.
that sweater zip is doing a lot. my goat.
Simona was a great player but her career was sabotaged by the doping scandal. She would have won more tournaments including a few more Grand Slams if it wasn't for that . I'm wishing her a happy future and hope she becomes a coach
Is this her last match?
She was treated unfairly halep was playing top tennis when they banned her and obviously it had a negative effect on her when she came back so sorry for her
Great player and seemed very nice!! She’s a casualty of terribly unfair tennis policies and practices that very quickly put her in a doping bad light that others deserved but didn’t experience.
she was retired long ago, but she didn't know
Halep should not of retire she could of make it back to top t0
Not a bad life to retire at 33 with over 50 million euros in the bank 🇷🇴 🎾 Te u besc din su flet Simona
Women’s tennis was better when she took part in the- a great champion
If I wasn't allowed to take my endurance boosting drugs, I would also retire.
Just like Sharapova, her career fell apart without her PED's.
" Though the Court determined Halep did bear some level of fault or negligence for using the supplement, it did not rise to the level to justify a multi-year ban. Therefore the Court´s decision reduced the original four-year ban levied by the International Tennis Federation to nine months"
Doper 😂😂😂 without dope = retiring
☢️☢️☢️
Uragutanul american a jucat la nesfarsit dopata ,rusine sai fie ,
Cele mai slabe jucatoare la Wta Cluj Is din Romania
Sidopna fans trolled sharapova but atleast she reached top 20 and didnt do blood doping which is way dangerous than melo😂😂😂
Can't comeback from blood doping and finally puts an end to it, Good luck in retirement, but I really won't miss her...
I guess she could not compete with out the doping? I mean she retired pretty quickly after “winning” her case….
She can’t find her level anymore. It was pretty obvious in todays match. Not to mention she keeps getting injured
She did not train too much in the last time due to knee pain. She just went for this tournament for retiring in front of Romanians.
If you really followed her career, she's struggling with injuries from ages. She had a lot since 2020
@@H8RrR we wish her peace of mind
Like meldonium maria : no drugs = no wins = retirement
she is doper.
I won't miss screaming Simona.
BYE DOPER
The doper retires because no more drugs = no more results
maybe you vote for Georgescu.Your brain, has two neurons💩
It's hard without the drugs to win isn't it.
Bye-bye cheater!!!😂😂😂
