Romanian Halep won’t face Canada in Fed Cup

Simona Halep says she will miss Romania’s Fed Cup series against Canada this weekend because of an ankle injury sustained at the Australian Open. Halep had a gruelling time in Melbourne last month, badly twisting her ankle and battling her way through two marathon matches to the final, where she lost to Caroline Wozniacki. It was the third time she has been runner-up in a Grand Slam final.
