Simona Halep and Sorana Cîrstea had several strained relationships during the glory moments of their careers. The two rivals are no longer at war, it seems that the suffering they are going through has brought them closer.
Simo and Sori are both injured, with the former having knee problems that have plagued her since the TAS lifted her doping ban, and the latter announcing that she will not play again this year after undergoing surgery which she is trying to to get rid of the pains that have been tormenting her for several months.
Simona Halep and Sorana Cîrstea sat next to each other
Simona Halep and Sorana Cîrstea stood next to each other, offering incredible images for two players who declared on several occasions that they were not friends and that that was all. Now, the two talked amicably and spent a good few minutes at the awarding ceremony of the Romanian medalists from the 2024 Olympic Games, organized at the Țiriac Collection, in Otopeni. Both chose to wear white dresses to the event, which Sori attended on crutches.
Not only the suffering united two emblematic players of Romania, but also the relationship they have with Ion Țiriac. The billionaire is Simona Halep’s mentor, and Sorana is part of the tycoon’s family, being his son’s lover.
