How to watch WTA Transylvania Open live on TV or stream in the UK, USA or Australia featuring Emma Raducanu and Donna Vekic
WTAWednesday, 28 January 2026 at 00:00
After the Australian swing, the action quickly shifts continents, and in Transylvania, Cluj will host the first European tournament of the season, a WTA 250 featuring Emma Raducanu at the top. It will be held from February 2 to 8 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
The tournament is relatively young – with only five editions held so far – and previous champions include former world No. 2 Anett Kontaveit and former world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova. This year, the defending champion is Anastasia Potapova, who will be one of the main draws of the tournament.
However, the biggest name in the main draw is former US Open champion Emma Raducanu, first seed and the only top-30 player in the draw. Her good ranking allows her to appear as first seed again – just like in Hobart two weeks ago. And it will be a good chance for the Brit to make a deep run, without the most prominent names of the Tour in the draw.
However, with an open draw, there will be several players looking to take advantage of their opportunity. Among the notable names are Xinyu Wang (who recently reached the round of 16 in Melbourne, eliminating two top-25 players), and the Romanians Jaqueline Cristian (No. 35) and Sorana Cirstea (No. 36) – who will aim to become the first local player to lift the title in Cluj.
Several young players will seek their opportunity in the draw, such as Croatian Antonia Ruzic (No. 67), German Ella Seidel (No. 82), or French Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah (No. 116). The 2025 finalist, Lucia Bronzetti, will arrive under significant pressure to defend last year’s points and avoid a steep drop in the rankings.

- That is what is called an Old School spanking. And it is not surprising. Svitolina played during the time when women tennis was at its best. She was considered a dark horse, who gave Serena and many of the other good players problems at that time. Gauff knew that she had to play tennis before she came out there, because Svitolina was not going to hit all those unforced errors and hand her the match, like her previous opponents. Back in the day, not only did you have to know how to play tennis, but you also had to THINK on the court. Something that has left women tennis altogether. That is why she was hitting the majority of those balls away from Gauff, because she knew that she could not out rally her. Which confused Gauff and broke her down.
- SVITOLINA GAVE HER AN OLD SCHOOL SPANKING. SHE DIDN'T GET OUT THERE AND LOOK LIKE GAUFF PREVIOUS OPPONENTS AND HAND HER THE MATCH WITH LOADS OF UNFORCED ERRORS, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY GAUFF EVER WIN A MATCH. SVITOLINA DID NOT PLAY THAT ONE DIMENSIONAL CRAP TENNIS THAT THE NEW GENERATION IS USED TO. YOU CANNOT RALLY GAUFF, SO SHE HIT THE BALL AWAY FROM HER AND MAINTAINED HER SERVE. IT IS CALLED STRATEGY AND THINKING ON COURT. SOMETHING THAT HAS LEFT WOMEN TENNIS ALTOGETHER. EVEN GAUFF NEW TATIC OF LEAVING THE COURT AFTER LOSING THE FIRST SET, DID NOT WORK. AFTER THE MATCH SHE WENT TO THE BACK BEAT HER RACKET UP AND CRIED AS USUAL AFTER A LOSS. AT LEAST SOMEONE HAS TAUGHT HER TO DO HER MELTDOWNS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THE CAMERA JUST HAPPENS TO CATCH HER OUTBURST THIS TIME.

- Haven't seen such a dreadful display of two-way tennis in quite some time.
- No recreational drug tests??
- You are so confused lately.
- Vukov's actions were ever "resolved". He peppered WTA, etc with countless monthly letters for reinstatement. Someone or some thing flipped a switch and Vukov was miraculously given a Free Pass to re-enter the circuit. Elena and he are currently (quietly) on their own personal Vendetta Tour. So... given the weak-knee'd tennis authorities... this new situation with Stearns' coach is going nowhere.
- No one bothered to close the roof on any of Sabalenka's matches. She is the number one player, yet she was made to play in the scorching sun. The corrupt American back WTA tried to drain her and tire her out, but it did not work. Which means that as usual, they want a certain player to lift that trophy. And from the look of the draws, it is either Anisimova or Pegula.
- When is the WTA going to hand down the punishment to the American athletes and organizations like they did the Russians and Belarusians. The corruption, bias and racism is showing its ugly head WTA.
- Lately you post newbie-quality stuff (and politics). Do better.
