"Everything went well. I will need a few weeks of rest before I can start again any physical activity," she said, posting a picture from what looked like a hospital bed with her nose bandaged.

"See you soon on the tennis court," she added.

Earlier, Simona Halep crashed out of the last Grand Slam of the year (US Open). Playing in the Louis Armstrong Stadium, Daria Snigur brought her best game to the court, winning the match in a thrilling three-set encounter 6-2, 0-6, 6-4.

Halep had not faced the Ukrainian in her career before, and her first meeting with Daria ended with Halep at the receiving end. (ANI)
