No professional tennis tournaments before the US Open? Simona Halep does not want to exclude this scenario. And does not make a positive return forecast for itself.

Wimbledon champion Simona Halep does not expect the tennis tour to continue soon. "I think it will take longer than July. We hope for the US Open. But they are not sure either because New York is not doing well," said the Romanian in the Eurosport Tennis Legends vodcast.
The ATP and WTA tours pause at least until July 13th. The US Open is slated to begin in late August. "We have never been in this situation. It will be new to all of us. I will definitely stumble. I will have to fight to get back into rhythm. It is the longest time in which I have not touched a racket "said Halep.
Halep won't be able to defend Wimbledon titles until 2021
Halep celebrated her second Grand Slam tournament win at Wimbledon last year, but will have to wait until at least 2021 to defend her title after the All England Lawn Tennis Club canceled this year's event. Simona Halep has been working with Darren Cahill again since the end of last year.
In this connection, Dieter Kindlmann, current coach of Angelique Kerber, in conversation with tennisnet stated that those players who would have come out of the break with a bit of luck and intuition on the final length of the break would be the best. Motivation would then be easier than if several, ultimately unsuccessful, attempts have already been made.
