Simona Halep might be banned from tennis, but the Romanian is still practicing, hoping for a positive conclusion to the nightmare that's been ongoing for over a year.
Simona Halep won the Canadian Open in 2022 and looked to be on cloud nine heading into the US Open. She fancied her chances at the event but lost pretty early in a major upset, but that was only the start of her nightmare.

That provisional ban was enforced this year with a final 4-year ban due to two separate violations of the anti-doping programme. It came as a huge shock to Halep, who already described the whole process as a witchhunt.
She promised to fight this new ruling...
