The Romanian also said that she might return for the event next year which is great. However, that is not the main question on people’s minds. They are wondering about her participation at the US Open this year. When asked about her decision, here’s what Halep had to say, “Monday I will have it. Now, it’s too fast to take a decision. I just want to enjoy this victory and then I will have a thought about US Open.”

From her previous statements, it is looking like Simona Halep will decide to pull out of the US Open. Before she left for Prague, the Romanian talked about her participation at the event. She said that she wasn’t planning to play but she didn’t officially confirm her withdrawal.

While it looks like she will skip the event, we should wait for her official announcement that should come very soon.
