World No. 4 Simona Halep’s participation in Roland Garros is in doubt. The Romanian posted a message on Instagram saying that she arrived in Paris early to have her ankle looked at by specialists after sustaining an injury while playing against Elina Svitolina in the Italian Open final.
“The MRI scan shows a torn ligament from the fall in Roma,” said Halep. “I’m keeping my fingers crossed for RG [Roland Garros] and will do everything possible to be ready.”
Arriving early in Paris for treatment. The MRI scan shows a torn ligament from the fall in Roma. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for RG and will do everything possible to be ready. Doctors say it's 50/50 at the moment but it's made good improvement since Sunday. Thank you for all of the support the last few weeks. We are remaining very positive 💪😊😘 Love, Simo A post shared by Simona Halep (@simonahalep) on May 24, 2017 at 2:04am PDT
Despite making progress, the star isn’t sure whether she’ll be healed in time for the Grand Slam event.
