Principala favorita a turneului din Connecticut, Halep ar fi evoluat direct in turul al doilea contra invingatoarei dintre Ana Bogdan si Camila Giorgi.
Cele doua saptamani pline de la Montreal si Cincinnati, turnee unde a ajuns de fiecare data in finala, au lasat-o pe Halep fara energie pentru a mai evolua si la New Haven, turneu pe care l-a castigat in trecut.
Simona Halep si-a motivat retragerea prin ratiuni medicale, invocand o accidentare la tendonul lui Ahile de la piciorul drept.
Unfortunately world No.1 @Simona_Halep has withdrawn from #CTOpenTennis with a right achilles injury. She will be giving a press conference on site in #NHV at 2.30pm. Get well soon Simona. We hope to see you back here in New Haven in 2019. pic.twitter.com/VJgSxLeihO
