Simona Halep reconsidered her decision 

However, after she was training during the pre-season, she felt that there were still a few more years left for her to continue. At the same time, her husband too was supportive of her endeavours.

The two-time Grand Slam winner spoke on this subject and stated, “I thought about it being close to the end, but honestly after this pre-season and how I feel right now at the tournament, I feel like I have a few more years to play. My husband is supporting me in that direction, my family as well. My team says I’m still good enough to go there and compete, so I’m not thinking about retirement yet. I just want to enjoy and give my best because I know there is another chance.”

Coming to tennis, Halep began last season by reaching the quarterfinal of the Australian Open. After that, she skipped the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships due to injury. However, she came back to compete in the US Open and came as far as the fourth round.
