It’s been a rough year for tennis star Simona Halep. The Romanian-born player has struggled since Daria Snigur of Ukraine defeated her in her first-ever US Open main draw appearance. 

But that’s not all! Lately, along with her recent on-court losses, Halep has also been dealing with a personal tragedy off the court. She has issued an open plea to the press, requesting that they respect her privacy.

Things aren’t going well for Simona Halep

On Wednesday, Simona Halep posted an update on Instagram which read, “Tony and I have decided by mutual consent to go our separate ways. I would like the press to respect our privacy and treat this subject with decency and discretion.“

In response, Halep’s fans took to Twitter, expressing their sadness at the news. One of her fans echoed the sentiments of the star and requested privacy. Earlier, the world No. 1 went down against Daria Snigur  2-6 6-0 4-6.

When Halep suffered a panic attack

When the panic attack hits, the only thing you can do is fight your way through it. That’s what Simona Halep tried to do during her second round match in this year’s French Open. Despite being in good form in her second-round match against the 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen of China, Halep could not recover from a panic attack that caused her to lose the game 2-6, 6-2, 6-1.

“It was a panic attack, but I don’t know why it happened because I was leading the match,” said Halep during the post-match presentation.

Similarly, Halep is currently going through a tough moment in her life. We can only hope that she manages to overcome this situation and make a strong comeback on the tour. And not to forget, we should respect Halep’s privacy, at least for now.
