However, Garbine Muguruza defeated her in a close contest there, denying the third Grand Slam title to her. After that, what followed was phenomenal. The World No.2 won 3 tournaments back-to-back proving why she is such a great player. She went on to win the Dubai Tennis Championships and then conquered the Prague Open defeating Elise Mertens in the finals in straight sets. Although Halep didn’t take part in the US Open [https://www.usopen.org/index.html] 2020, she played wonderfully at the Italian Open [https://www.internazionalibnlditalia.com/en/] 2020 and won the title after losing just 1 set in the whole tournament. She even looked good at the French Open 2020 before Iga Swiatek thrashed her in the fourth round. Overall, it was a great year for Halep before testing positive for COVID-19. Fans hope that the 2-time Grand Slam winner would recover soon and make a comeback on the court as soon as possible.
