Simona Halep (34), the former world No. 1 in women's tennis, remains deeply connected to the sport she made history in. Her Saturday activity highlights this. Despite being single after her divorce from Toni Iuruc, Halep is fully engaged in her status and enjoys her free time, especially since retiring from active competition over a year ago.

On Saturday, May 16, Halep posted an InstaStory showing how she spends her free time to recharge. According to the post, Halep watched the semifinal match of the Masters 1000 Rome tournament between Norwegian Casper Ruud (27, ranked 25 ATP) and Italian Luciano Dardeli (24, ranked 20 ATP).

The post was accompanied by the message, "Good morning, life," with a heart emoji. On the table in front of the TV, besides her coffee cup, were several photo albums commemorating her major tournament victories, Roland Garros and Wimbledon, as well as her biography, "Din România, Simona Halep," published by treizecizero.

In another video posted on InstaStory, Halep flips through her biography, accompanied by the nostalgic caption, "What wonderful times... Respect for these wonderful women," to the tune of "Inspire The World."

The frames captured show the salutations she received from her rivals throughout her career, from Serena Williams (44) to Maria Sharapova (39), Angelique Kerber (38), Andrea Petkovic (38), Carla Suarez Navarro (37), Ana Ivanovic (38), and Sloane Stephens (33).

Halep retired from active play during the WTA 250 Transylvania Open in Cluj-Napoca in February +1 (2025), a decision that came shortly after she returned to the circuit but failed to regain her peak form. Despite her retirement, she has remained involved in tennis, attending events and serving as an ambassador for the WTA Finals.

This year, on June 13, Halep will return to Cluj-Napoca for the gala match at the Sports Festival, where her impressive career, including 24 WTA titles and two Grand Slams, will be celebrated. The event at BT Arena will also feature Andrei Pavel (50), Elina Svitolina (31, who is in the final of the WTA Rome tournament with Coco Gauff), Gael Monfils (39, former No. 6 ATP), and Darren Cahill (60), her coach for six years and with whom she won her two major titles.
