(Reuters) - World number one Simona Halep has pulled out of the Kremlin Cup as she has not fully recovered from a herniated disc, she said on Twitter on Tuesday, casting further doubt on her participation in next week's WTA Finals.

Halep sustained the injury last month while training for the Wuhan Open, where she lost in the second round. She then retired midway through her opener in Shanghai.
