Halep's 34DD breasts are affecting her game

Romanian tennis player Simona Halep is to undergo surgery in a bid to improve her game.

The 17-year-old is to have an operation to reduce her breast size because she feels they are affecting her game.

"This fall I'll have a breast reduction operation,” she said.

“The breasts make me uncomfortable when I play. It's the weight that troubles me - my ability to react quickly."

Halep, who is ranked 264th in the world, has won a host of junior titles and was a finalist in the junior French Open last year.

I absolutely love Simona's gorgeous puppies!

Women's tennis is going through a real slump at the moment, so her HOT body & gorgeous boobs are just the kind of thing that's needed to make the women's game worth watching again.

Simona, please don't do it! Your 34DD breasts are just way too beautiful to be reduced!!

Requirements for female tennis:

a model! That's right, become a mainstream model. Even though you'd be leaving a sport you enjoy, you can make alot more money being a model than you'd likely ever make playing tennis. It's not like you're some ugly duckling out there. In fact, you're quite stunning. I'm sure you can make a nice little fortune for yourself. And look, you don't even have to shed your clothes. The world is never short on beautiful women, might as well join the ranks......
