Despite a promising start, the Romanian tennis player Simona Halep only made a short comeback after her doping ban.
In her first match since her ban was reduced, the Romanian failed at the WTA tournament in Miami against former world number two Paula Badosa from Spain 6:1, 4:6, 3:6. Halep stood on the pitch for almost two hours.
It was only on March 5th that Halep’s ban was reduced from four years to nine months by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). She had served that sentence at that point. She was banned for four years by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) last year for two anti-doping rule violations. Her last appearance to date was at the US Open 2022.
