LOL! well maybe that thought did cross her mind, she is soo desperate to get back and playing tournaments, she received a WC to Madrid, which I am not surprised.
She doped because she was desperate to get back to winning ways.That year was lackluster until she got to Toronto.She is trying to blame Patrick but it's all on her dope fiend arse.

Strange now off her drugs she now has continued injury and health issues :)
Maybe she has kidney disease. I mean that's why she was taking Roxadustat surely! :facepalm: My apologies, I forgot it was the collagen that contained medication for kidney disease. Surely, everyone knows this is a key ingredient in collagen products?! Seriously, how fucking stupid are the CAS, ITF and WTA to defend this nonsense ?! Lepchenko should sue them for all they're worth. She was handed a 4 year ban.

Halep who received a wild card for Madrid has withdrawn due to continued health reasons, she says she still not fully recovered enough to play a high level tournament such as Madrid
She needs to just stop lying. It isn't just the high-level tourneys, she withdrew from a 250 this week because she is useless w/o her crutch.

I think she is shook by what Wozniacki said.She can't just waltz in and think everything is going to be alright.She is not showing contrition,and was slightly smug.I hope she understands that she has to start at the bottom like every other druggie...taking those twelve steps is the rite of passage.

I was 100% behind what Caroline said about Halep, Halep came back on social media after Caroline made the comment and said that was only 1 comment, I had soo many people glad to see me back playing on the tour, Halep still lives and breathes in her own bubble. though she has been enabled by people saying they are glad to see her found not guilty? LOL!

If she think Woz is the only person not cosigning her drug habit, she better think again. I can guarantee you all of the lower ranked players not from Romania agree w/ Woz because she is taking food off their table every time she gets a WC. The difference is, they don't have the platform to say anything about it.

Yep sad by true, the majority remain silent, Halep has always lived in her own bubble and continues to do so especially in her current situation.

I think the ESPN Commentary box was supporting her publicly and she thought the rest of the tennis world felt the same way.She got that favorable ruling because of Evert and Martina 's clout.I think she thought that everyone wanted her back,and Woz burst that bubble.I think after Miami she came to the realization that she is alone and the tour is moving on without her.

Well boo hoo. The tour is bigger than one player, especially a dope fiend w/ 2 slams to her name. Iga and Saba have already matched or surpassed her numbers in their short time at the top.

I really appreciate Woz saying something, because you're right, all the other top players were too afraid. They probably don't want to draw any attention to their blood and urine by making a supportive comment about her. Woz isn't afraid because she would never stoop to that level of desperation. She would retire again before she did anything questionable like that.

Halep issue "may" be the fact that she got caught..I am definitely not acknowledging her cheating. At least she served some time by being banned for so much of 2023.

Wimbledon didn't give Halep a wildcard?
