It will be a great celebration of tennis in Cluj-Napoca with the 2021 Transylvania Open as the event will welcome Romanian tennis superstar Simona Halep to town as well as Emma Raducanuc who has Romanian heritage. Raducanu always spoke fondly about her Romanian father and her extended family and now she will be able to play in the country where she enjoys quite a bit of support.
Besides those two players, the WTA 250 event will have more great tennis players such as Mertens, Kontaveit, Badosa and more as players are pushing for a spot at the WTA Finals. The event will run in the final week of October from the 26th till the 31st and should prove to be an excellent one. Simona Halep is the top seed and she will be the favourite at the event.
