Cosmetic surgery is an emerging trend in the world of sports. Athletes are going to great lengths to get an advantage over the competition

Everyone hears of actors, models and others from the glamour industry who have gone under the knife and had surgery to improve their looks and physique. However, the last decade has led to a surge in sports players wanting to go under the knife in an attempt to improve their agility, fitness levels and also their looks.

The latest victim is Romanian tennis player Simona Halep, who is so fed up with being impeded by her 34D "assets", that she has decided to opt for breast reduction surgery. She explains, "The breasts make me uncomfortable when I play. It's the weight that troubles me, affecting my ability to react quickly." Despite being just 17, and 317th in the world, Simona feels that this surgery will help enhance her performance by making her lighter and improve her chances of winning a Wimbledon title someday.
