Halep out of St Petersburg event with knee injury
Print Edition
SIMONA Halep withdrew from the St Petersburg Ladies Trophy yesterday because of a knee injury, the same issue that she blamed for her opening-round loss at the Australian Open.
The fourth-ranked Romanian had said she was pain-free after her win over Ana Konjuh this week. Halep was the top-seeded player in St Petersburg. Her withdrawal sends Russian wildcard entry Natalia Vikhlyantseva into the semifinals, matching her best showing at a WTA tournament. Vikhlyantseva, ranked 115th in the world, will next play Kristina Mladenovic, who beat defending champion Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-4. Also, second-seeded Dominika Cibulkova advanced by beating fifth-seeded Elena Vesnina 6-3, 6-3.
