The WTA established the hierarchy and made the official announcement about Simona Halep. Where is the former world leader in the ranking?

With the start of a new week, the WTA established the new world hierarchy in women’s tennis, and Simona Halep (33 years old) found out that she climbed a few positions in the ranking.

After the two matches played at the Inaugural Prudential Hong Kong Tennis 125, in early October, the former world leader jumped 252 places in the WTA ranking and returned to the top 1,000 players on the planet.

The WTA has decided: Simona Halep is on the 876th place in the world ranking!

The WTA, the forum that controls women’s tennis at the international level, published the new world ranking, and Simona Halep, who has not played a match since October 3, found out that she climbed two positions in the ranking.

If after the matches with Rodionova and Blinkova, he recorded a spectacular jump of 252 placesnow that was no longer the case and it climbed from position 878 to 876.

However, Simona continues to stay in the top 1,000 players on the planet and will try to improve her ranking at the next tournament she will take part in. It’s still about a competition organized in Hong Kong, only in the WTA 250 category, so even more points will be up for grabs.

The tournament is scheduled between October 26 and November 3, 2024, and it will be only the fourth one marked by Simona this year and also the fourth since returning from the suspension received for doping.

What must Simona Halep do to return to the elite of women’s tennis. Ion Țiriac publicly presented the recipe

Certainly, the 876th WTA position does Simona Halep no credit, who intends to quickly reach the top 100 players on the planet and, why not, then aim for the top 10, where she has been for many years.

Being asked about the situation of the athlete from Constanța, Ion Țiriac explained what Simona Halep needs to regain her form:

In my opinion, you need at least 50 qualifying matches with everything you want and a logical sequence of the competition. Otherwise, no competition… Without one up there saying “0-15″. It doesn’t matter! When you go in there… So Simona, if that’s what she wants, let her do it”, said Ion Țiriac, who subtly suggested to Simona Halep to take part in as many official matches as possible in the next period, regardless of the category the tournaments belong to .

Simona Halep was at the top of the WTA ranking for 48 consecutive weeks and 64 weeks in total. Also, Halep spent 373 consecutive weeks in the WTA TOP 10, being one of the most consistent players in the history of women’s tennis.
