Returning from a one and a half year suspension for doping on March 19, during a defeat against Paula Badosa in the first round in Miami, Simona Halep has not played again since. The double Grand Slam winner explained her package for the WTA 1000 in Madrid (April 24 to May 5).
Unfortunately my body needs a little more time to be ready and I have made the tough decision not to play in Madrid. Tough because I want to be back on tour asap, but experience tells me not to rush. Thank you to @MutuaMadridOpen who offered me the wild card and to my fans ♥️🙏 pic.twitter.com/s9ex85Otio
