The Romanian tennis player Gabriela Ruse on Wednesday qualified for the third round of US Open, the year’s last Grand Slam tournament

The 122nd-seeded Romanian clinched a two set win 6-4, 7-5 in the second round against the 8th-seeded Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic. Coming from qualifiers, Ruse managed to outperform the winner of this year’s edition of the Wimbledon tournament in a match that lasted one hour and 46 minutes. We recall that Krejcikova had won all the head-to-head matches, in 2019 in Bucharest and in 2023 in Abu Dhabi. Ruse, who is at her first participation in the third round of a Grand Slam, is going to meet the WTA 29th Spanish challenger Paula Badosa. Their only H2H game in February 2022 went to Gabriela in three sets, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.

Tuesday and Wednesday saw the qualifying games for Romania’s football cup, with Dinamo Bucharest, FC Hermannstadt, Poli Iasi and FC Botosani as favourites.

Dinamo clinched a 1-0 win against FC Voluntari, Hermannstadt defeated CSM Focşani 3-0. Poli Iaşi outperformed Concordia Chiajna 2-0, while FC Botoşani defeated CSM Alexandria, 1-0. FCU Craiova was knocked out by third-leaguer Unirea Alba Iulia in the penalty shootout and so happened to second-leaguer CSM Slatina, which was eliminated by Agricola Borcea, a group from the third football division.

Romania will be represented by six athletes at the summer Paralympics, which kicked off in Paris on Wednesday. Alexandru Bologa and Daniel Vargoczki will compete in the judo contest for the blind. Eduard Novak and Theodor Matican will compete in the cycling contests, while Camelia Ciripan and Bobi Simion will be playing table tennis.
