Simona Halep enjoyed a very good past few weeks but an injury stopped her from extending her winning streak at the WTA 1000 events.
The experienced Romanian triumphed in Toronto and she was set to play her second round match at the Cincinnati Masters against Veronika Kudermetova. However, Simona Halep added to the list of players withdrawing from the event in the second round.
Marie Bouzkova and Amanda Anisimova withdrew from their second round matches and Simona Halep is another player that gave her opponent a walk-over. An interesting stat is, that it's the eighth time that Veronika Kudermetova advanced this season due to her opponent retiring or withdrawing.
As a result for the withdrawal, the Romanian stated a right thigh injury. It is most probably a precaution ahead of the fourth Grand Slam of the season where Simona Halep will definitely be one of the favourites.
