Halep wants to return to no. 1 spot in WTA Rankings after Roland Garros

The 2019 Roland Garros champion, Ashleigh Barty has decided to skip this year's clay-court Grand Slam and so Simona Halep will attempt to steal spot no. 1 in the WTA Rankings from her.

Simona Halep is playing in a stunning form at the moment and she has all of the qualities to win the 2020 Roland Garros. If she will do that, she will also return to the no. 1 spot in the WTA Rankings which is currently occupied by Ashleigh Barty. The Aussie has decided to skip this year's Roland Garros, however, she won't lose any points as last year's champion thanks to revised rankings.

Halep, who claimed the no. 1 spot for the first time back in October 2017, will attempt to return to the women's throne for the first time since January 2019. Currently, she's on a 14-match winning streak and lost only 2 matches during the 2020 season.

"Of course is gonna be beautiful to finish again No. 1, to get the place No. 1, but it's too far," Halep said. "I cannot think about winning the title in Roland Garros, because the tournament didn't start yet. But I am there. I will give my best. I will dream for it, for sure."
