The international press reacted to the news that Simona Halep will return to tennis in a new role.
Simona will be involved in the Champions Tournament in Saudi Arabia, her role not yet being disclosed.
However, Simona's involvement in the WTA Finals 2025 is viewed positively.
"After announcing her retirement at the beginning of 2025, former world number one Simona Halep returns to the spotlight. Not as an athlete, but in an official position at the WTA Finals 2025. In a video posted on social media, Simona invites fans to the tournament, signaling her involvement in promoting the event.
Neither Simona Halep nor the organizers, however, have specified the role she will have at the tournament," writes the website tennis-wta.com.
Most likely, Simona will be an ambassador for the tournament.
The Champions Tournament will take place between November 1 and 8.
