Romanian tennis player Jaqueline Cristian has received a wild card at the Transylvania Open tournament, a WTA 250 category event that will take place in Cluj-Napoca, October 23-31, according to the organisers.
Cristian sent a message to the organisers and the fans that will show up for her matches: "I am very happy to return to Cluj, on the main draw of the Transylvania Open tournament. I have received a wild card from [tournament director] Patrick Ciorcila, whom I want to thank very much. I'm sure it will be a beautiful tournament and, as usual, very well organised. Kisses! I can't wait to see you!"
Cristian last week lost in the semis of the 2021 Astana Open to Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck. She played her first semifinal in a WTA tournament in the capital of Kazakhstan.
Among the players expected in Cluj-Napoca is the recent winner of the US Open, British Emma Raducanu, 18, whose father is Romanian.
