Romanian tennis player, Simona Halep, 1st WTA, will not play at the Eastbourne tournament next week.

She has announced on Wednesday that she is forced to withdraw from the tournament with prizes worth USD 800,000 due to an injury.

 “I’m very sorry to announce that I’m withdrawing from next week’s Nature Valley International.

I was experiencing Achilles tendon pain and inflammation during the French Open and it has yet to fully recover. I’ve been advised by my doctors that it needs more rest while continuing treatment.

I loved competing in Eastbourne last year and hope to see you at this wonderful event next year.

Thank you for the understanding and support.

Love Simo” – is her message posted on Facebook.

Simona Halep was the main favourite of Eastbourne tournament scheduled during June 24-30. Thus, the first tournament to which Halep will participate after winning the Roland Garros 2018 trophy will be also a Grand Slam, Wimbledon 2018, which will take place during July 2-15.

I am in late 50s, great age to become a philosopher! Yet, I am doing my job in journalism, trying to deliver clear and accurate information to our readers, be them expats in Romania or people living abroad and interested in the developments taking place here.
I worked for several important newspapers, attended a Reuters scholarship, had collaborations with Al-Jazeera and Intelstrat. As journalist, I had the opportunity to interview several Romanian ministers and the NATO Secretary General at the time Javier Solana.
Anyway, these are old stories, currently I focus on this news website and, together with my colleagues, I do my best to achieve our goals.
I hope most of our readers will continue to access our website. Keep in touch with Romanian realities! Several rounds of elections are ahead, the courts are expected to deliver some important rulings that may change the entire domestic spectrum. We’ll be here to keep you informed!
