No miracle for Simona Halep. Suspended for a positive doping control, the former world number 1 did not see her sanction lifted. She will not participate in the US Open.
Yet she believed it. At the end of July, the Romanian Simona Halep saw her name registered in the long list of players engaged in the US Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of the year. But the hope was short-lived, this Monday, the former world number 1 was automatically removed from this list. Since October 2022, Halep has been suspended from all competitions on the circuit after a positive test during the last US Open at Roxadustat, a form of doping therefore. To make matters worse, irregularities in his Athlete Biological Passport have also been reported.
Despite this, the current 1140th player in the world hoped for her suspension to be lifted. She had also been preparing for her return to competition for several weeks, a lure to try to influence the authorities. In the end, nothing has changed and no one has flinched, Simona Halep remains suspended until further notice. The 31-year-old has not played a match on the circuit since August 29, 2022.
