Simona Halep’s coach Patrick Mouratoglou has come in support of the tennis star’s recent controversy. The two-time Grand Slam champion failed a drug test at the US Open this year, after which she came out testing positive for an illegal drug. 

After struggling to return to her form this year, the Romanian star faced hardship in the other paths. Earlier this year, the tennis legend separated from her billionaire husband just after a year of getting married. She also had nose surgery the previous month. Her involvement in the doping scandal, however, shocked the tennis community greatly. However, the tennis pro can be suspended from the sport after she failed a drug test.
