Shortly after receiving a wildcard entry for the April 15-21 Oeiras Ladies Open, it was revealed that Simona Halep has withdrawn from the WTA 125 tournament due to an injury.
The former world No.1 was scheduled to compete in her second tournament following her return from a doping ban. However, she feels pain in her knee, prompting her to prioritize health and withdraw from the event.
For now, her participation at the Mutua Madrid Open later in April still stands.
