The press in the United States of America has once again written about Simona Halep (32 years old) after our athlete announced that she needs more time to recover from a knee injury that is still causing her trouble.
After reporting that Simona Halep’s chances of participating in the US Open 2024 are slim, American journalists highlighted the big mistake made by the athlete upon her return to the court after her doping suspension was lifted.
Lob and Smash writes about the fact that Simona Halep should have been more patient, should have waited longer before returning to the court after the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced her doping suspension. Halep received a wildcard entry to the Miami Open, accepted the invitation, and lost to Paula Badosa.
"The issue is that for someone who is not a young athlete, injuries can take longer to heal, and one of the things that Simona Halep doesn't have on her side is time. She may not return to the court until 2025, but that doesn't mean her athletic and physical form will be better when she does. (...)
She should have waited longer to play again and return one hundred percent prepared," the source cited writes.
