Halep, 29, pulled out of the U.S. Open in August, citing coronavirus concerns and saying she planned to “stay and train in Europe.”
Her last match was a loss to Polish teen Iga Swiatek in the fourth round of the French Open in early October, which ended a 17-match winning streak. –Field level Media ()
