(Reuters) - Simona Halep will make her first competitive appearance since winning an appeal over a doping suspension as she accepted a wildcard into this month's Miami Open, the Romanian former world number one said on Thursday.
The 32-year-old Halep, a former Wimbledon and French Open champion, had her four-year doping ban cut to nine months by the top court for global sport this week, making her eligible to return to competition immediately.
