Bucharest: Tennis player Simona Halep has confirmed that she would not be participating in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics as she would not recover from the calf injury in time.

In another Tweet, Halep said, “having to skip the Olympics is incredible tough to digest, but I am determined to come back stronger I will be watching and cheering on the Romanian athletes from home.”
