Simona Halep faces serious competition in hopes of achieving her major goal set for 2024.
Our athlete has expressed her intention to receive a wild card for the 2024 Olympic Games, even though she has not met the eligibility criteria.
According to the regulations, the ITF can offer two wild cards to former Grand Slam champions who do not have a good enough ranking to qualify directly for the Olympic Games.
The issue for Simona is that the competition is tough, as other significant names in tennis have also requested a wild card.
These include Angelique Kerber, Naomi Osaka, Emma Raducanu, and Bianca Andreescu.
According to Tennis Up To Date, favorites to receive a wild card for the Olympic Games are Angelique Kerber and Naomi Osaka.
Simona is counting on the emotional factor and hopes to convince the ITF that she could not have had a good enough ranking, given that she served a longer doping suspension than the one decided by the CAS.
