"Come on people, let's join forces": Cornet latest to rally behind Halep amid call from Ellen Perez for players to speak out

France’s Alize Cornet has urged the tennis world to come out and support the former world number one Simona Halep.
The Romanian tennis star is currently spending time on the sidelines after being provisionally suspended since failing the dope test last year after the US Open.
Earlier this year, Halep received a separate breach of anti-doping rule, a move that she called ‘harassment’.
Corent, in a post on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — urged the tennis community to come out and support Halep.
"Come on people, let's join forces. This is going way too far, and for far too long @itia_tennis @ITFTennis. The tennis world just wants what's fair. We want #JusticeForSimona,” she posted.
Australia’s Ellen Perez also posted a message and stated that Halep deserves a fair trial to prove her innocence.
"Irrelevant of if you believe Simona Halep is innocent or not, every athlete deserves a fair and timely trial. How the ITIA and ITF is handling this is beyond poor. I urge other athletes to speak up because if it was you in this situation you’d hope for the same,” she posted.
Halep has an impressive record while playing at the highest level where she has won two Grand Slam titles.
Her first major title triumph came in the year 2018 when she lifted the French Open by beating America’s Sloane Stephens in the final with a score of 3–6, 6–4, 6–1.
A year later, Halep won her second big title in London where she defeated America’s Serena Williams in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2.
