Ranked 883rd in the world, Halep is relying on being given tournament wildcards as she looks to rebuild her career.
Halep, who won the 2018 French Open and Wimbledon in 2019, always maintained her innocence after being charged with two separate doping offences.
While her case was partially upheld, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled Halep ‘on the balance of probabilities’ had not taken roxadustat – an anti-anaemia drug which stimulates the production of red blood cells in the body – intentionally.
Cas also dismissed a second charge over irregularities found in her athlete biological passport.
On her upcoming plans, Halep said: “It depends on the wildcards, but I just want to work harder because I need a stronger body to perform at this level.
“I will take it slow. I have to give myself patience and try to get better day by day.”
