Good news for Simona Halep. The Romanian, former world number 1 and two-time Grand Slam winner, has received a wild-card to take part in the Australian Open 2025 qualifiers.

Now 33, Halep made her return to the main circuit in Miami last March after having her doping suspension reduced to nine months by the CAS.

Simona Halep was a finalist in Melbourne in 2018, where she lost to Caroline Wozniacki.

Ranked above 800th in the world, she is hoping to enter the main draw on the Australian courts to continue her comeback operation.

"It's exciting to be back in Australia three years later. I'm grateful to the organization for this opportunity and I thank them.

I can't wait to be back in Melbourne and play in front of my Australian fans," said Halep on the tournament's official website.

The full list of players invited to take part in the qualifying rounds is now available. You can find it by clicking on the link below.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
