Women’s world number one Simona Halep has smashed international headlines announcing she has a herniated disc, which could sideline her ahead of the WTA Finals in Singapore. Halep did add that surgery is out of the question, and that she will follow a treatment that includes exercise and physiotherapy. We recall Halep withdrew from the first round of the WTA tournament in Beijing on Sunday in a match against Ons Jabeur of Tunisia 32 minutes into the game. The Romanian had also signed up for the Moscow Tournament over October 15-21 and for the Singapore Finals, scheduled to take place over October 21-28.
