Simona Halep (32 years old) has received a new wildcard.
After having to withdraw from Oieras and Madrid, Simona Halep has been invited to the main draw at Trophee Clarins, a 125-category tournament preceding Roland Garros.
The press in the United States is writing about the "best-case scenario" for Simona Halep, following the wildcard received at Trophee Clarins: a wildcard also for Roland Garros to finish the clay season at the tournament she won in 2018.
Americans have concluded, after Simona Halep received an invitation to the main draw at Trophee Clarins, that our athlete is ready to return to the court after the medical issues she faced.
"She may have been 'overlooked' regarding the wildcard for Rome, but Simona Halep will play before the French Open, after receiving a wildcard at Trophee Clarins, a tournament that starts on May 13. (…) It's a strong indication that Simona is recovering and probably ready to play again.
For Halep, the best scenario would be to start her clay season at Trophee Clarins and receive a wildcard for the French Open," writes the Tennis World USA website.
Simona Halep has played only one official match in 2024, the first-round defeat at the Miami Open against Paula Badosa on March 19.
