Simona Halep skipped two important events this season

Speaking on the current season, Halep began competing in Melbourne and came as far as the quarterfinal at the Australian Open. However, her journey was cut short by 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams. After that, she was seen in Miami but had to withdraw from the event due to a right shoulder injury. The injury was severe as she had to withdraw herself from the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships. 

She was seen back on the Tour once the tennis shifted to the North American region. She competed in Montreal and Cincinnati but was unable to go deep into the events. At the US Open, she lost in the fourth round to Elina Svitolina.
