“No one said this comeback was going to be easy”: Simona Halep remains optimistic about French Open despite withdrawing from Challenger
WTAFriday, 17 May 2024 at 10:40
Former world number one Simona Halep has stated that she
never expected to have an easy way back into professional tennis after spending a long time on the sidelines. The 32-year-old returned to the court after spending more than 15 months away from the game after testing positive for a banned substance in a doping test.
Her ban was overturned in an appeal to the Court of Arbitration
for Sports (CAS) earlier this year. However, Halep’s return to the court has
not gone as planned, and in her most recent outing during the WTA Challengers event in Paris, she had to withdraw because of a fitness concern while playing in round 32. After the match, Halep, in a post on her official account on the
social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — stated that no one told
her it would be an easy journey. Despite the result, she remains optimistic about the upcoming French Open.
"Well, yesterday didn’t go as I hoped on court,” she
said. “The knee pain that has been lingering since Miami came back and
unfortunately I couldn’t continue. It’s not the way I would have liked to spend
my time in Paris, but no one said this comeback was going to be easy. I will
rest and then keep working and keep believing in my journey. Thank you to those
of you supporting me, I see your messages and they mean the world to me.”

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
