"So here for every single beatdown she will receive": Simona Halep's attitude questioned after jibe aimed at Caroline Wozniacki
WTA
Tennis fans questioned Simona Halep after her response to Caroline Wozniacki's criticism of the Miami Open organization's decision to grant Halep a wild card. In a press conference, the Danish player was asked about Halep's return, and the 2018 Australian Open champion expressed her opinion that wild cards should not be given to players who "purposely cheat."
"This is not directly at Simona, but if someone purposely cheats, if someone has tested positive for doping, I don't think people should be awarded wildcards afterwards," Wozniacki said. If you want to come back and it's been a mistake, I understand, but you should work your way up from the bottom," the former world No. 1 added.
The Romanian recently received a reduction in her doping ban sentence from 4 years to 9 months and defended that she did not cheat. Halep even said that Wozniacki should read the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) 'better'.
"Only one person being negative about me is not that important because I have hundreds of people that [are] giving me love, so I will take that," Halep said.
Fans reacted on social media to Halep's comments about Wozniacki, and many of them criticized the attitude of the 2-times Grand Slam champion in her response:
"The entitled attitude Ms Roxadustat has is quite something. I am so here for every single beatdown that she will receive over the next (however many so) seasons she’ll play," some fan commented. "The old WTA gen bringing the cattiness back," another also opined.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
