Agnieszka Radwanska on the trial of Simona Halep: “I really don’t understand why she is waiting so long to be heard”

Present in Paris, the former world number two talked about Simona Halep, saying that tennis lacks the presence of the Romanian on the field.

In addition, the Pole says that she does not understand why the hearing of her former rival is taking so long.

“I’m very sad that she’s not playing, I really think that tennis misses Simone. I also don’t understand why she has to wait so long to be heard. I believe that everything (not the process) should have gone much faster, by this point the decision had already been made.

She was always a fighter, a warrior. She’s proven it so many times that she’s there, she’s playing great tennis and I really think she can come back stronger.” – Agnieszka Radvanska for HotNews.ro.
