Ana Bogdan and Sorana Cîrstea on Thursday advanced to the third round of
the Wimbledon tournament. In the second round, Bogdan outperformed US opponent Alycia Parks, 1-6, 6-3, 6-2. 30-year-old
And Bogdan as an absolute first in her career has advanced to the third round
at Wimbledon. Sorana Cîrstea plays, however, for the fifth time in the third round
at Wimbledon. We recall that Cirstea in the second round on Thursday defeated 17th-seeded
player at Wimbledon, Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4.


Time now
for news from football. The European Youth Football Championship, jointly
hosted by Georgia and Romania, draws to a close this coming weekend. On
Saturday in Batumi, on the Georgian shore of the Black Sea, in the Championship’s
final, Spain play England. In this past Wednesday’s semifinal in Bucharest Spain
trounced Ukraine, 5-1 while in Batumi, England defeated Israel, 3-nil. Playing
in Group B in Bucharest, the national U-21 Romanian team lost to Spain, nil-3, sustained
yet another defeat by Ukraine, nil-1 and achieved an unassuming blank draw
against Croatia.


This coming
Saturday the domestic football season resumes with the Romanian Super cup. The Ilie
Oana Stadium in Ploiesti plays host to the match pitting Farul Constanţa and Sepsi
OSK Sfântu Gheorghe. Farul had no problem winning the Championship, being, in
Group1, 7 points clear of the runner-up team FCSB of Bucharest. Sepsi got the
upper hand in the Romanian Cup, defeating Universitatea Cluj in the final, 5-4,
after extra time and the penalty shootouts. Sepsi OSK Sfântu Gheorghe are the holders
of the Supercup. We recall that in 2022 Sepsi defeated then the champion team
CFR Cluj, 2-1, in Arad. Farul Constanta won the Supercup only once, in 2019,
when the team was named Viitorul. The final was also played in Ploiesti; back
then Gheorghe Hagi’s trainees defeated CFR Cluj, 1-nil.
