Halep To Be Honoured For Wimbledon Glory

Halep To Be Honoured For Wimbledon Glory

Simona Halep is to be awarded Romania’s highest honour after her superb victory over Serena Williams in the Wimbledon final. The 27-year-old played like a woman possessed to thrash the American on Saturday afternoon and lift the Wimbledon trophy for the first time in her career.

It was the culmination of a lot of hard work on grass, with the former world number one admitting in previous years that the surface was not her favourite. The popular star will now be given the Steaua Romaniei – the highest distinction of Romania.
