We at Right Fielders try to keep you abreast of all the new sexiest women of sports. We have found one for you – Simona Halep, hands down one of the sexiest tennis players on the circuit.
Halep started playing tennis at age four, in emulation of her older brother.[3] She has self-described her playing style as being "an aggressive baseliner,"[3] while New York Times columnist Michael Kimmelman described her as "a scrappy player from Romania, short but with potent ground strokes and a scrambler’s talent."[
She started the year with a final in Nottinghill, losing to Arantxa Rus, then defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinals at the Australian Open Junior Championships, before losing in the semifinal to Jessica Moore.
At the ITF $50,000 tournament in Bucharest, Halep eliminated former Roland Garros semi-finalist Sesil Karatantcheva in the first round, before losing in the quarterfinals to Sorana Cîrstea in three sets, 6–3, 3–6, 1–6.
At the Roland Garros Junior Championships, she entered the main draw as the 9th seed. In the first round, she defeated Charlotte Rodier, 6–4, 6–1, and then Karen Barbat from Denmark, 6–3, 6–1. In the 3rd round, Halep won against 5th seed Jessica Moore, 6–0, 6–1. In the quarterfinals, Simona beat 13th seed Ksenia Lykina, 6–1, 6–2. In the semifinals,
Halep defeated second seed Arantxa Rus 6–3, 7–5, and then won the all–Romanian final, 6–4, 6–7(3), 6–2 against 10th seed Elena Bogdan.[7]
2009
At the $50,000 tournament in Makarska, Halep began her campaign with wins over Ana Vrljić of Croatia and an upset victory over Ksenia Pervak. She defeated Anne Schaefer, 6–0, 6–0, and beat second seeded Arantxa Rus with a 6–4, 7–6(6) win to advance to the final.
In a bid to boost her game, Halep underwent breast reduction surgery in the summer of 2009, which took her cup size down to 34C.[11]
