MIAMI (Reuters) - Fans gave Simona Halep a warm welcome back to tennis at the Miami Open on Tuesday in her first match back from a doping suspension but the Romanian received a frostier reception from former world number one Caroline Wozniacki.
There were plenty of cheers and chants of "Si-Mon-ah. Si-Mon-Ah" from excited flag-waving fans during the wildcard's 1-6 6-4 6-3 loss to Spain's Paula Badosa, who also complimented the twice Grand Slam champion after the match.
