Simona Halep returns to the court after the medical issues she faced recently.
Our athlete will compete next week in the WTA 250 tournament in Cluj-Napoca, and the organizers have also set the date for her debut.
"Simona's first match will be on Tuesday, February 4. We wanted to announce this in advance, although the WTA does not really agree. I talk a lot with her, she is training hard for the tournament. She is very excited, but also very emotional. I don't think it has ever happened before that all Romanians are there, it seems incredible," said Patrick Ciocirlă, according to Ziua de Cluj.
Simona Halep was supposed to start the year in New Zealand and Australia, but withdrew due to medical problems.
The tournament in Cluj-Napoca will take place between February 1 and 9, and Simona is returning after 4 years of absence.
Our athlete has played only 5 official matches since returning to tennis and has experienced repeated knee pains.
