Simona Halep, who returned to competition in March after a long period of suspension, reduced from 4 years to 9 months, received an invitation to Trophee Clarins, a WTA 125 category tournament that will take place between May 13-19.
“Simona Halep, who still doesn’t know if she will play at Roland Garros, received a wild card for the Clarins Trophy”, noted the tennisactu.net website.
It remains to be seen if the Romanian will officially accept the invitation, depending on her medical situation. Simona Halep has not yet announced what she intends to do, but the French press reproduced a first answer provided by the former world leader.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to play at the Clarins Trophy. Every match is crucial for me as I continue my journey in competitive tennis. I’m looking forward to presenting my best tennis and I’m eager to compete against strong opponents”, said Simona Halep, according to Tennistonic.com.
Eight Top 50 players are expected in Paris: Emma Navarro, Sloane Stephens, Katie Boulter, Leylah Fernandez, Yue Yuan, Katerina Siniakova, Clara Burel and Diane Parry.
Two Romanians, Ana Bogdan and Jaqueline Cristian, are on the list announced on the competition’s official website.
