"I don't have, like, hate inside myself": Simona Halep doesn't harbour resentment towards Patrick Mouratoglou after brief hello at Miami Open
WTA
Simona Halep doesn't harbour any sort of resentment towards Patrick Mouratoglou and his team and has wished her ex-coach luck in the future with Holger Rune amid the doping scandal that took nearly two years of her career away from her.
Halep returned at the Miami Open in a losing effort to Paula Badosa. But in reality, throughout the whole scandal, Mouratoglou's team were the ones who admitted to handing her a collagen supplement with the substance Roxudustat and so many called for him to be punished. But the former World No.1 sees it as case closed.
"We saw each other two days ago. We said hello to each other. I wish him good luck with Rune. I know they do a good job. But it's done, so I finish with them working. Yeah, we say hello. I actually say hello to everyone, so I don't have, like, hate inside myself. It's good," Halep said.
But while the resentment isn't there, she shared a warning to other players to watch out what they eat and what they put into their system after her own experience. "They have to be worried about everything they eat, they do. Sometimes it can happen unexpected. It's a stress for everybody. We have just to believe that something like it happened to me doesn't happen to them because it's terrible. It has been a terrible period for me and very stressful emotionally.
"The advice is just to check what they take and to be aware about everything. It's tough to say to give an advice because I don't wish anyone to go through what I went through. But, yeah, we have to be a little bit, like, safer."
"I always supported a clean sport. I've always been loud about it. I'm still doing that."
