A Romanian survey of over 100.000 people revealed that Simona Halep, who is now 32 years old, has a 50% chance of winning another Grand Slam. The survey‘s results were published on Monday by Romanian sports publication Digi Sport.
The data is relevant in the context that Halep will make her comeback on the court after reducing the 4-year suspension caused by her roxadustat contamination. Before getting a shot at another Grand Slam in the summer, the two-time champion has to battle her way to the top of the rankings, so she increases her chances of getting an easy draw in the future slams.
At the unfolding Miami Open, Halep faces Paula Badosa.
Halep’s tough draw under question
Simona Halep had a nightmare draw in Miami, but chances are she will get a clearer path since Aryna Sabalenka may withdraw following her boyfriend’s sudden death.

The match against Badosa won’t be a walk in the park either since the Spanish player is a former world number 2.
However, Badosa is certainly not at 100%. She has been struggling with an injury that forced her to withdraw from Dubai and refrain from participating at Indian Wells.
