"Being concerned about this is really f**king weird" - Tennis fans furious over podcaster objectifying Simona Halep's breast surgery at the age of 17

Simona Halep, who was a French Open junior champion back in 2008, had 34DD breasts at one point in her life. The extra weight on her chest was uncomfortable and caused severe back pain, which hampered her performance on the court.The former World No. 1 had to undergo breast reduction surgery, and she once talked about her decision in an interview with Sports Illustrated.&quot;When I did it [breast reduction surgery], I did it for tennis. Doing that was really important to today be No. 1,&quot; she said. &quot;I don’t feel I made sacrifices by being here or playing tennis because I really like this sport, and it’s never tough to go and practice.&quot;Recently, Eric Conn, the host of the HardMenPodcast, weighed in on the issue on Twitter. According to Conn, what Simona Halep did as a teenager was a &quot;war&quot; against the female body and nature.&quot;Simona Halep had breast reduction surgery as a teenager. Why? Her 34DD chest was getting in the way of her sporting dream so she went under the knife at the age of 17.
