Frustrated Halep has been carrying knee tendonitis all year

Simona Halep says she has been bothered by knee tendonitis all season, and that the issue started last year. Halep says she felt pain in Singapore and that she thought lots of rest in the off-season would heal it.
“Every day I had pain,” she said. “But offseason was okay. I didn't feel much. But then in China, the first match, end of the first match, I felt it. Here I had every day pain. But was not that hard like today. But at 5-3 today, I felt at one -- at one point I felt the knee very strong.”

Halep says she plans to rest the knee, get treatment and see how it comes along. Surgery is not an option at this point, she said.

“No, no, surgery,” she told reporters. “Not that bad. I need MRI again, and just maybe take some rest and physiotherapy to get it well.

She added: “I'm a bit frustrated, but you cannot change much. I'm okay. Just looking ahead. It happens, and I just want to be well with the knee.And then I will think about the game.”
