Former World No: Former World No.1 Romanian Simona Halep announced her retirement after her homecoming was stopped at the first hurdle at the Transylvania Open in Cluj-Napoca on Tuesday by Italy's Lucia Bronzetti.

Halep belatedly got her season under way in her home event, the Transylvania Open in Romania on Tuesday, after being handed a wildcard. But, the two-time Grand Slam singles champion, suffered a 6-1, 6-1 loss at the hands of Bronzetti.

"It’s a bit hard for me to speak,” said Simona Halep into the microphone on the purple court at the Transylvania Open, standing before packed stands.
