Bigger the Fall, Bigger the Rise- can Halep prove it once again?

The two-time major champion is the biggest sports star in Romania. Simona Halep is an idol for many Romanians and an inspiration to all aspiring tennis players. Simona Halep might be going through a rough patch in her life but do not forget her achievements in the past.

An incident that not only stopped her from doing what she loves the most but also broke her mentally. But as the saying goes,  ‘cometh the hour, cometh the man‘, the fans are keeping their fingers crossed for yet another comeback. Can she regain her top spot in the future?
