Lucky for her, she managed to find the one aspect that was holding her back and fixed it right away. The issue? Her big breasts.
At 18 years old Halep was rocking a 34DD bust, not an easy size to have running around on the tennis court.
She made the choice to get reduction surgery done to become a much more manageable 34C. She cited that the weight of her larger breasts were really bothering her, as well as suffering from back pain and hindering her ability to move quickly on the court.
Her first appearance after her surgery was at the French Open in May 2010. It seems her decision worked because she managed to move up in the world ranks over 450 places from then on.
As of July 7, 2014, she is ranked 3rd in singles, her best placement to date.
That's great she managed to right what was bothering her game, but how mortifying to have to have a press conference on the subject!
