Simona Halep, hearing in London – The first verdict will be in two weeks

According to DigiSport, the ex-WTA leader was heard in a London court on Wednesday, and the first verdict is expected in two weeks.

The source cited suggests a two-year disqualification for Simona, which could then halve the sentence at CAS.

“She was listened to today (not on Wednesday), but will be listened to tomorrow as well. In about two weeks we should have the first verdict.

The postponed moment happened. Simona presented her arguments together with the lawyers. Let’s see what the solutions will be.

As a rule, they give a suspension for two years, then the decisions are appealed in the Court of Arbitration for Sport. There are generally half as many of them there.

The term of the temporary suspension is being shortened, and this temporary suspension is from November 2022″ – Dragoš SuchuDigiSport commentator.
