The court said on Tuesday it has registered Halep's appeal of the International Tennis Integrity Agency's decision in September.

The ITIA ruled that Halep, 32, "committed intentional anti-doping rule violations" after failing a drug test during the 2022 US Open and for irregularities in her Athlete Biological Passport.

Halep had blamed contaminated nutritional supplements and said she would "do everything in my power to clear my name of these false allegations and return to the court."
