The first future absences of the 2025 Australian Open are starting to show, catching many players off guard. The recent wave of withdrawals is due to various physical issues arising from the pre-season preparations... and this is also the case for Simona Halep, the latest significant withdrawal from the first Grand Slam of the year. The Romanian confirmed on Instagram that she is declining the invitations to both the Auckland tournament and the Australian Open after experiencing knee and shoulder pain during her pre-season training in Abu Dhabi. Halep is struggling to find her form back on the court.
