As it stands,
the WTA ranking shows 2020 has been a god year for Romanian tennis players.
Patricia Țig has had by far the best evolution. She won the trophy in Istanbul
and qualified to the Roland Garros third round, which helped her climb to 57th
place, her career best. Irina Bara has also had a good year, climbing to 116th
place. At Roland Garros she was ousted by Sofia Kenin of the United States, who
reached the final and is now in 4th place. Overall, Romania has six
players in the WTA Top 100: Simona Halep, no. 2, Patricia Țig, no. 57,
Irina-Camelia Begu, no. 76, Sorana Cîrstea, no. 88 and Ana Bogdan, no. 92. In
the women’s doubles standings Romania has three players: Raluca Olaru, no. 41,
Monica Niculescu, no. 53 and Andreea Mitu, no. 91.
