Simona Halep has withdrawn from the Miami Open<\/a> after aggravating a thigh injury. Former world number one Halep was due to face Australia\u2019s Daria Saville in the round of 64 on Thursday but felt unable to contest the match.<\/p>\n

Halep said she sustained a thigh injury during her Indian Wells semi-final defeat to Iga Swiatek the previous week and it caused her discomfort again while training on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old two-time major winner expects to sit out the Charleston Open and will miss the start of the Billie Jean King Cup.<\/p>\n

In a post on her official Twitter account, Halep wrote: \u201cWhile I was practicing in Miami yesterday I felt a sharp pain in my left leg. I had been struggling with the thigh since my semi-final in Indian Wells and hoped it would improve, but I went for an MRI last night and unfortunately, it showed a tear.”<\/p>\n

\u201cMy body needs time to heal and as a result, I will be out of competition for three weeks. This means I have had to make the super-tough decision to pull out of Miami, Charleston, and Fed Cup [Billie Jean King Cup].”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it feels like really disappointing news to share, I am keeping the confidence from my great start to the year and I am motivated to do everything to be ready for the clay-court season. Thanks for your continued support through the highs and lows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucky loser Harmony Tan will take Halep\u2019s place in the draw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
