The tennis player Sorana Cîrstea (35 years old, 36 WTA) is involved in the WTA 250 Transylvania Open tournament, from Cluj, where she is playing today in the round of 16 against the Slovenian Tamara Zidansek (28 years old, 153 WTA). Romania’s first racket, Jaqueline Cristian (27 years old, 35 WTA) is also in the “optimum”.
“Sori” spoke again about the end of his career, announced in time for the end of this season. The athlete born in Târgoviște admitted that the withdrawal was a long-considered decision.
His greatest desire is to leave the white sport while it is still at a high level. Staying in the Top 100 ensures his entrance to the Grand Slam tournaments, where the prizes are consistent.
Although she seems extremely adamant about retiring, Sorana has left one door open for a possible sequel in 2027.
Asked what event could change her decision, the Romanian offered a spectacular answer: winning a Grand Slam tournament. Which would mean the obligation to defend their title next season.
“I don’t know what could change this decision, I don’t know… a Grand Slam won! I made this decision after a lot of thinking, it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision“, commented the athlete, in a press conference in Cluj.
