Simona Halep has made her way back onto the tennis grid! The 32-year-old tennis star has returned to the Miami Open after facing a lot of accusations and going through a doping suspension. While her fans were waiting for her return to the competitive circuit, after reducing her 4-year ban to 9 months and after a lot of struggle, she accepted a while-card entry into the prestige tournament.

But the biggest question is: after being without a coach for almost two years now because of the doping incident, who is the coach that will guide her through her comeback? While she is back in action, his practice sessions with Daren Cahil have ignited a lot of rumors regarding her next tennis coach.

Who will coach Simona Halep ahead of the Miami Open? 

The two-time Grand Slam winner has parted ways with coach Patrick Mouratoglou since last year. Their partnership began in 2022 when she encountered the hardship of testing positive for the illegal substance Roxadustat. She also faced another doping problem last year due to anomalies in her athlete’s biological passport, which is a system designed to continuously monitor a range of blood indicators to identify possible doping breaches.

But after taking matters into her own hands, she had a successful appeal over her doping suspension, marking her return to the tennis court. But now the biggest question arises: who will she play under, as she has no coach at this moment? Will it be one of her previous coaches, such as Cahill?
