Social media posts suggested she had been suffering from knee pain during training: “My body is telling me it needs more time to get used to full training again. “I don’t want to rush my comeback, so I won’t play in Oeiras next week,” said the two-time Grand Slam champion.
As her next attempt on the red clay, where she won the first of her two major titles with her triumph at the French Open in 2018, she is aiming to start at the Masters event in Madrid. A wildcard is also available for the returnee at the tournament hosted by her long-time manager Ion Tiriac.
At the Masters event in Miami, Halep played her first tournament after an 18-month break and was defeated in three sets by the Spaniard Paula Badosa in her opening match.
