Simona Halep has made a sizeable donation to enable kids from Romanian schools to play tennis, it has been revealed.
The Wimbledon champion donated 20,000 euros to help the project known as "Tennis in your school", which was revealed by ziare.com.
The project which was started by the Romanian Tennis Federation; wants to make more stars like Halep; by enabling kids to play tennis from a young age.
Simona Halep, Monica Niculescu, Horia Tecău and Marius Copil are the only players that have come through with none on the horizon; so the WTA star has made her intentions known with this donation.
Halep has her own foundation which aims to do similar and have a legacy long after she finishes her career.
“Creating a foundation has been a longstanding wish of mine, but it is also a new challenge for me, through which I can give something back in the long run. Together with my partners, I will try to develop long-lasting projects.
One of the foundation’s main goals is to leave a legacy long after my career is over. When I hang up my rackets, I will dedicate 100 percent of my time to this project” says Halep on her website.
