“We even negotiated with Simona Halep. We were looking forward to the end of the proceedings in her case. We hoped the news would be positive, but in the end she received a long disqualification. And Simona thanked us for the offer, but responded in the spirit of ‘Let’s not tempt fate’. Moreover, Simona promised to return to St. Petersburg once her disqualification is over,” Kamelzon added.
