After Fed Cup, Simona Halep withdraws from Stuttgart with hip injury
The world No. 2 may have bit off more than she could chew in exhausting Fed Cup tie in which she played singles and doubles.
Simona Halep has withdrawn from this week's Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Germany, due to a left hip injury sustained in Fed Cup this past weekend.
Halep may have bit off more than she could chew in a brilliant semifinal tie against France, as she spent approximately six hours on court playing both singles and doubles on Sunday. The Romanian injured her hip when she fell down during a point in the first set against Caroline Garcia.
Halep noted in a post on Twitter that her injury is not debilitating and the withdrawal was more precautionary than anything.
Garbine Muguruza has also pulled out of Stuttgart, due to illness.
