    Simona Halep is the new World number 1 tennis player
  • Tennis star Simona Halep has surged to number 1 spot in the latest WTA Rankings, which were revealed on Monday.

    The Romanian tops the rankings with 7,965 points.

    She replaced Caroline Wozniacki as the top ranked player despite the latter winning 2018 Australian Open.

    Halep was last seen during the Qatar Open where she retired in the semis due to an injury.
