Romanian Simona Halep: The two-time Grand Slam singles champion and former World No.1, Romanian Simona Halep lashed out at Caroline Wozniacki for her "players tested positive for doping should not be awarded wildcards" comment.

Halep, who returned to action from an 18-month absence from the WTA Tour, received a wild card to the Miami Open after her CAS reduced her four-year ban from tennis to nine months.

The former grand slam winner suffered a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 loss at the hands of Paula Badosa in the opening round on Wednesday.
