Simona Halep has been struggling as of late and I wondered why she was off her game. Not moving as well for long matches, not walking with her usual sexy strut and missing the fire that one usually sees in her. Well the truth has finally come out, Simona has been suffering from a string of viruses affecting multiple parts of her body as described in her following quote from Melbourne, Australia: Simona Halep revealed Sunday that she needs nose surgery and will be out of action until at least March, missing Romania’s Fed Cup tie next week.
Halep, my favorite female player and ranked No. 2 in the world, was eliminated from the Australian Open in the first round last week.
“The last six weeks have been extremely difficult for me, as I’ve been dealing with infections in my stomach, nose and ear,” she remarked on her official Facebook page.
“This has been one of my most frustrating periods, as I’ve not been able to train or stay healthy even though I’ve constantly been on antibiotics to help clear the infections.
“I gave it my best shot in Australia but, with the infections still in my body, unfortunately I made things worse, as I pushed myself to compete and fight in a Grand Slam.
“Under doctors’ advice, I will undergo surgery to fix the ongoing problem with my nose — and I’ve been advised that this is my best option and success is highly likely.”
“It comes with great sadness that I’m announcing that I will need to miss our upcoming Fed Cup tie next week, as I will be undergoing surgery this week,” she said. “I’m hopeful that I will have recovered in time to have a chance to defend my title in Indian Wells.
We all hope Simona has an excellent recovery. You are missed every day.
