Petkovic analyses Halep's comments: "She's acting emotionally".
Andrea Petkovic, retired since 2022, gave her opinion on the latest hot topics in tennis news in the Rennae Stubbs podcast.
The German gave her opinion on Simona Halep's recent statements on the Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek doping cases: "She's angry. She's acting on emotion.
She doesn't make rational decisions and she feels the tide is turning.
I think one thing she's had throughout this whole period is sympathy. People were really on her side and that's changing this year because she hasn't let go.
If Simona had known directly where the contamination had come from, she would have done exactly the same as Jannik and Iga.
She would have tried to get through it with the least possible impact on her career."
