Simona Halepdespite being 32 years old and having been away from competition for 18 months after the sanction for testing positive for roxadustat, already has a return date to official competition. It will be at the Miami Open, the second WTA 1000 of the American tour, owned by IMG and which appears on the calendar from March 19 to 31. To find her last official match you had to go back to the end of August 2022 in the first round of the US Open that she lost to the unknown Ukrainian Daria Snigur.
The organization has granted one of the invitations to the former world number one, who currently has no points and is therefore without a WTA ranking. It was Halep herself who announced her return to Miami through social networks.
I really want to get back on the slopes
