Simon Halep is trying to look on the bright side regarding the suspension of the tennis season due to the coronavirus pandemic, which means at least she will be referred to as reigning Wimbledon champion for two years.
Asked about the Wimbledon cancellation, announced on Wednesday, Halep told Eurosport's Tennis Legends vodcast:"I take it positively, because I am now the defending champion for two years. So, I have to live with that for one more year so that's a good thing again. "For the moment, I think it's going to be longer than July. We hope for the U.S. Open but it's not sure because New York is struggling now."After so many years jet-setting around the globe, Halep said the enforced time off from the Tour had been welcome in some respects, even if the circumstances were dreadful.
"No alarm clock, no schedule, so I just wake up. I have a late breakfast and then I do some running here in the complex. Because we are allowed to do it, it's a private residence.
