After John Millman ripped WTA and players for not supporting Halep's unfair treatment during the judgment of the doping case, French tennis player Alize Cornet stepped out on the subject. "Couldn't agree more! What is happening to Simona is completely outrageous, and this crazy situation needs to end asap.

I don't really understand the silence around it either. Justice for Simona," Cornet wrote on X.

The French tennis player followed up with another supporting tweet. "Come on people, let's join forces. This is going way too far, and for far too long @itia_tennis @ITFTennis.

The tennis world just wants what's fair. We want #JusticeForSimona," Cornet wrote.

Millman calls out WTA and players for not intervening

Australian ATP player John Millman accused both the women's tennis main body and the players in the circuit for not speaking up on Halep's unfair treatment.

"The ITIA delays in regards to Simona Halep's case is a disgrace. One way or the other she shouldn't be constantly mucked around like this. I'm a little surprised more on the WTA, admin and players, haven't come out condemning the process It's been a joke.

Simona is in tennis purgatory due to constant delays in proceedings from the ITIA. Her colleagues should have her back and broadcast it in the public forum. Allowing her a proper and fair hearing. If you walked in her shoes you 'd at least want that.

Regardless of the findings," Millman wrote on X.
