What did Simona Halep say?
According to Simona, all her dreams pertaining to tennis have been fulfilled. However, one dream that still persists is on the tennis front. This is what the Romanian star had to say about it –

Know More – Simona Halep Takes Break Before Sunshine Double
Simona is currently dating Macedonian businessman Toni Iuruc.
He is a 40-year-old businessman who owns several companies in Romania. The pair first publicly came out when the duo shared a dinner in Constanta, Romania.
The media also spotted them having fun and kissing each other on a jetski in the Black Sea.
Simona’s revelation is a cute reminder that tennis players also dream of having a normal life beyond the realms of the sport. The fact that this still remains an unfulfilled dream for her also reveals the taxing nature of our beloved sport, which keeps athletes on their toes at all times, preventing them from enjoying their life activities.
Talking about her career, Simona recently won her first title in 2020 at the Dubai Tennis Championships. She will next be seen competing at the Indian Wells event. However, her absence in Lyon and Monterrey means that she can’t challenge the number one spot of Ashleigh Barty till after the Miami Open.
