Simona Halep lands in Sydney to start her new season!
The world no.1 has managed to complete 2 consecutive seasons at the top of the rankings, and she will try to go for the 3rd one. However, there are some doubts about her physical conditions after the Romanian had to cut short her 2018 following an injury to her back occurred when practicing with Petra Kvitova in China.
Simona was diagnosed with a disk hernia. Eventually, the world no.1 opted not to undergo surgery to try to recover with physiotherapy.
