Simona Halep is returning to the court sooner than expected after the serious injury she suffered.
Our athlete will make her comeback at the tournament in Tokyo (Japan), which will start on October 21, according to Gsp.ro.
The Tokyo tournament is part of the WTA 500 category, so a strong return is expected from our athlete.
The total prize fund is approximately 800 thousand dollars, and last year's champion was Veronika Kudermetova.
Then, from October 26, Simona is entered in the WTA 250 tournament in Hong Kong, where she also received a wild card.
Our athlete has only played two official matches since returning to tennis, but she does not give up.
Knee pains have troubled her lately, and Simona Halep is eager to try playing again in a new official competition.
Simona played her first match after her return in March, at Miami, where she was eliminated in the first round by Paula Badosa.
She then had to withdraw in the first round of the Clarince Trophy due to medical issues.
