Former No.1 Halep returns to action this week at WTA 125 in Paris…
Former No.1 Simona Halep will return to action this week at the Trophée Clarins, a WTA 125 tournament played on clay in Paris. It will be Halep’s first competitive appearance since making her return at the Miami Open.
After receiving a wild card into the main draw, Halep will face McCartney Kessler in the first round. The winner will face either top seed Emma Navarro or a qualifier in the second round.
What’s next for Simona Halep after her return to tennis?
Halep, 32, was cleared to return to tennis with immediate effect after her four-year ban for an anti-doping violation was reduced to nine months in March. The two-time major champion returned in Miami, where she bowed out in the first round to Paula Badosa, losing 1-6, 6-4, 6-3.
