Simona Halep is training for the clay season

While awaiting the verdict, Simona is trying to keep in shape and posted a photo from a dirt workout on Instagram.

The clay season starts next month and Halep is hoping for a favorable response and a return to her favorite surface.

The most important competitions will be held in Charleston (April 3 – 9), Stuttgart (April 17 – 23), Madrid (April 25 – May 7), Rome (May 9 – 20) and Roland Garros (May 28 – June 11). .

Simona Halep is temporarily suspended from tennis due to a positive test for Roxadustat (conducted during the US Open 2022).

Simona’s case will be heard by Sport Resolutions, an independent court in London that hears doping cases in white sport.

However, if innocence cannot be proven, Simone has one more appeal: the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.

It will be recalled that the maximum suspension that Halep could receive is 4 years.
