Simona Halep has withdrawn from the upcoming Madrid Open to focus on improving her fitness. The decision comes as she aims to ensure she is physically prepared to compete at the highest level after being absent from the sport for over 18 months.
The former Wimbledon and French Open champion recently had her four-year doping ban reduced to nine months in March. She made her comeback as a wild card entry at the Miami Open, where she was defeated in the first round by Paula Badosa.
