Would a woman mutilate herself, slice off the most intimate, tender part of her body, for the sake of her career? It’s a controversial topic and one that provoked heated debate last week after Romanian tennis player Simona Halep admitted she’d done just that.
At the age of 17, Simona decided that nothing would stand in the way of her ambition to make it to the top in tennis. Tired of her game being hindered by what one blogger rather patronisingly described as ‘those funbags,’ she underwent Bosom reduction surgery two years ago to reduce her measurements from a 34DD to a 34C. Perhaps as a result, she has since shot up 450 places in the world ranking. Last week, she was knocked out of Wimbledon by Serena Williams, but still deems the operation a success. Her decision, however, has been widely condemned — ‘slice off part of your anatomy for money and trophies?’ sums up the online consensus. But as an athlete, her body’s ability to perform is everything. She experienced back pain, too. She probably hated the whistles and cat calls when she was trying to focus on her game. At 34DD, her generous bust literally got in the way and slowed her down on court. As Bosom reduction is major surgery, she then had to rest from professional tennis for several months before returning to the game in 2010. However, this year the decision is paying off – before she was beaten by Serena, she won her first game at Wimbledon comfortably.

Will she take the trophies to heaven or to the grave when she dies? People are yet to realise dat money, fame, power, trophies E.T.C are all vanity upon vanity
