Just as Simona Halep returned to tennis following a lengthy doping ban, the former world No. 1 sustained a knee injury in mid-May, and the rehab process is taking longer than hoped for. In her latest update, the Romanian tennis star informed her fans that she’ll stay out of competition for a while.
After an absence of more than 18 months due to a doping ban, Halep made her comeback at the Miami Open in March. The 32-year-old’s return was marked by a loss in the opening match to Paula Badosa.
