"For me the goal is a Grand Slam, if it's possible again to win one," said the former world number one. "Also the Olympics this year, because I really want for my career to have a medal. The two-time Grand Slam champion claimed three consecutive titles in 2020: Dubai in February, before the COVID-19 shutdown, and Prague and Rome in August and September, respectively. There are still COVID-19 restrictions in place at the tournament, a reminder that life has far from returned to normal. But we have to respect the rules," said Halep, who recovered from a mild case of COVID-19 last year and has since been vaccinated.
