Simona Halep is going through a difficult period in her life but it seems that she's handling it with a smile on her face.

The 30-years-old Romanian lost in the first round of the 2022 US Open after being named as one of the favourites following her triumph in Toronto. A few weeks later, Simona Halep confirmed that she will be divorcing with her husband shortly before their first anniversary and now, she had to undergo a surgery.

Although it's only a surgery of her nose, it's one that will keep her out from the action for a few weeks, but should help her with breathing problems that she experienced especially in Washington. The two-time Grand Slam champion announced this on social media, stating:

"As some might already know, I have been struggling for a while with nose problems and it got worse during the summer especially in Washington. This problem made it hard to breathe and even worse during the nights as I was going through complete blocked nose," stated Halep.

"The only way to solve the problem was to undergo a surgery. The doctor Daniel Popescu has performed it and taken this opportunity to also make a plastic surgery intervention. Thank you! I also want to thank my anaesthesiologist Dr. Uleia Alex. Everything went well. I will need a few weeks of rest before I can start again with any physical activity. See you soon on the tennis court."
