Romania will meet Belgium on February 11 and 12, in the first leg of the Fed Cup World Group II, but Simona Halep will not be able to play, due to a knee problem. “It’s very difficult when I can’t play, but I have nothing to do, I’m injured and it’s better to have a player who is 100 percent on the field. I will be there for the games, I want the girls to win and move on to play in April. I don’t usually show myself in the stands, but I’m with the team with my soul,” Halep testified, quoted by Agerpres.
Number 4 WTA continued: “I will try to make a gallery as much as I can, but usually I stay more quiet. I hope that the hall will be as full as in Cluj. There was a very warm audience and it will certainly be good in Bucharest as well”. Simona Halep watched the training of the tricolors Halep, who watched Tuesday’s training of the Romanian team from the Sala Polivalentă, continued: ” All the girls are in the top and they know what they have to do, I’m not going to give them advice because it’s not appropriate. I don’t feel up to doing this job. They are quite well prepared now, Sorana played well in Australia, I think it will be good and Romania will win”.
Halep has started treatment for her knee injury and hopes to feel better in the coming days. “The knee is not very good at the moment, I have had treatment. I’m waiting a few days to see how I feel. I had some pain these days, but it’s normal, it’s a rather difficult knee injury and I have to be patient”, said Simona Halep. Romanian tennis player Simona Halep, the main favorite, withdrew, on February 3, from the WTA tournament in St. Petersburg, endowed with total prizes of 710,900 dollars, before the quarter-final match with the Russian Natalia Vihlianțeva, due to an injury to knee.
