Romanian tennis player Simona Halep will skip the World Group II first round tie February 10 and 11 at Sala Polivalenta Cluj-Napoca. She will be replaced by Ana Bogdan, world No. 86, says Business-Review.eu
According to sources, the Romanian Tennis Federation will officially announce Halep’s absence on Wednesday.
“I will train, enter normal schedule, but I still don’t know if I will be able to play. It is a decision we will take together with the other players and the rest of the staff. Physically I feel good, I am alright, at first sight. Still, I feel I still need rest,” Halep said two days ago.
Sorana Cirstea, World No. 36, Irina Begu World No. 37 and Raluca Olaru, World No. 45 will compete between February 10-11 against Canada. The Canadian team includes Carol Zhao, Bianca Andreescu, Katherine Sebov, and Gabriela Dabrowski.
