Romanian tennis player Simona Halep will be world number one in WTA standings at the end of 2018. In the event she stops playing until the end of the year, Halep cannot be toppled by any other player. The only threat to Halep’s supremacy at the top of the standings, Germany’s Angelique Kerber, lost in the round of 16 at the Beijing Open. We recall Simona Halep might miss the last two competitions in the WTA schedule, namely the Moscow tournament, to take place over October 15 and 21, as well as the WTA finals in Singapore, slated for October 21-28. Halep on Sunday withdrew from the first round in Beijing, in a match against Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur after only 32 minutes of play, troubled by lower-back pain. Simona Halep announced earlier this week she has a herniated disc, adding however that surgery is out the question and she is due to observe a strict treatment involving exercise and physiotherapy.
