The Doha tennis tournament, with 2,600,000 USD in
prize money has no Romanian tennis players left in the competition. The last Romanian
tennis player to have competed in the women’s singles, Jacqueline Cristian, sustained

Kasatkina. Having won the first set, 6-2, in the second set Cristian sustained a
right-knee injury and was taken away from the court in a wheelchair.


The Romanian team Volei Alba Blaj this past Wednesday
in Targu Mures sustained a nil-3 defeat by Turkish opponents, Eczacibaşi Istanbul,

defeat after only one hour and 22 minutes of play. Volei Alba Blaj are highly unlikely
to advance to the competition’s final. The second leg of the tie is scheduled
on March the 1st in Istanbul.

CEV Cup in 1999 and 2018.
