Simona Halep has just announced some very positive news as she is set to play earlier than anticipated and return to action at next week’s WTA 125 tournament in Hong Kong.
Shortly after playing her first tournament in a year and a half at the Miami Open in March, the former world No. 1 started battling injury issues. After an attempt to return in May didn’t go as expected since she was forced to retire mid-match in Trophee Clarins, the 33-year-old decided to take a longer break to address her knee injury.
And after being silent for some time and not sharing updates, Halep feels ready to play again and her comeback will start at the Hong Kong Open, which kicks off on Monday.
“Hello guys, I figured today was a great day to share the great news that I will be back on the court sooner than expected. I will be flying to Hong Kong tomorrow to compete in the WTA125 Hong Kong Open. Big thanks to the tournament for the wildcard and I cannot wait to see you all there,” the Romanian announced in a video posted on the tournament’s X account.
