Simona Halep (Romanian pronunciation: born 27 September 1991) is a Romanian professional tennis player who is currently ranked world Number 2. She started the year 2008 playing in junior competitions, reaching the final in Notting Hill, where she lost to Arantxa Rus, . Simona Halep has self-described her playing style as being "an aggressive baseliner" and "she models her game on Justine Henin". Henin herself said of Halep. "She has an intelligent game. There is a little something that reminds me of myself... it is offensive and aggressive." Her very fit body and athleticism provide her with very good all-court movement and she tends to make few errors; she also uses this agility to reach the ball earlier because of her wide back swings and sliding. At the same time she likes to control the rally and can hit very effective cross-court and down-the-line flat shots, generally producing winners. Ser ca te-am ajutat !
