Simona Halep loses in three sets in return to court after doping ban was lifted
Paula Badosa spoiled Simona Halep’s return from a doping ban, fighting back to claim a gritty 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 win on Tuesday to move into the second round of the Miami Open and set up what is sure to be an emotion-packed match with Aryna Sabalenka.
While Halep was getting ready to face Badosa, posts on social media showed Sabalenka, who has a first-round bye, at work under a hot sun on a Hard Rock Stadium practice court, with the Belarusian scheduled to be on centre court on Thursday or Friday. But Badosa would continue to apply pressure and break the Wimbledon and French Open winner a second time, the effort leaving the exhausted Romanian slumped over her racquet at the baseline.
