Tennis: Injured Halep 50/50 For French Open

PARIS, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th May, 2017 ) - Romanian Simona Halep said Wednesday she was only "50/50" for Roland Garros having sustained a torn ankle ligament in last week's Italian Open final.
Halep, winner of the Madrid Open the week before, needed treatment after going over on her right ankle in the second set as she hit a return from the baseline. She eventually went down 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 to Ukraine's Elina Svitolina in Rome.
Halep, 2014 runner-up at the French Open, would be among the favourites for the title but admitted her participation was up in the air.
"Arriving early in Paris for treatment," she said in an Instagram post along with three photos, one of which shows her receiving ultrasound treatment on her injured ankle.
"The MRI scan shows a torn ligament from the fall in Roma. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for RG and will do everything possible to be ready. "Doctors say it's 50/50 at the moment but it's made good improvement since Sunday. Thank you for all of the support the last few weeks. We are remaining very positive."
