Romanian tennis ace Simona Halep got a huge reprieve when the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) reduced her four-year suspension over doping to only nine months which ended on 6 July 2023. This means that the two-time Grand Slam champion is eligible to compete in tournaments now. With the good news coming Halep’s way, Jannik Sinner‘s coach Darren Cahill welcomed the Romanian back.

After the CAS verdict about Halep was made public, Cahill shared a story on Instagram welcoming the two-time Grand Slam champion back. Cahill labeled the Romanian a fighter and lauded the 32-year-old for her honesty.

While Mouratoglou was happy that the truth prevailed, Becker advised Halep to remember who stood by her side in despair. The former German tennis ace also talked about eagerly waiting for the two-time Grand Slam champion to be back on the court and “kicking a**”.

Always remember who stood by you in moments of despair…they shall be your shining armor moving forward! We can’t wait seeing you back on court kicking ass.
Boris Becker commented under Simona Halep’s Instagram post.

Notably, Simona Halep has already served the nine-month band and is now eligible to compete on the tour. The Romanian is now excited to make a comeback. It is to be seen how the 32-year-old finds her way back on the tour.
