Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki have been announced as main draw wildcard recipients for the Madrid Open and it comes just two weeks after the Dane made some pretty harsh comments about the Romanian being given wildcards in her post-doping ban comeback.
On Wednesday, the Madrid Open announced their first set of wildcards for the tournament and two names confirmed happened to be Halep and Wozniacki.
After being handed a main draw wildcard for the Miami Open to play her first tournament in a year and a half, former world No. 1 Halep is now also set to feature in the opening WTA 1000 clay tournament of the year in Madrid.
This week, the clay season officially started. But 32-year-old Halep isn’t competing in any of this week’s opening clay tournaments and she also hasn’t been confirmed for any of the clay events tournaments that will be taking place leading up to Madrid.
If it stays that way and Halep doesn’t accept any wildcards into a tournament leading up to Madrid, the two-time Grand Slam champion will kick off her clay season at the Madrid Open, which starts on April 23rd.
