The 2024 WTA Transylvania Open will take place from February 5th to 11th in Cluj-Napoca. The Romanian tournament has shifted its schedule compared to previous years when it was held in the European autumn.
Players will compete for the 250 points awarded to the champion and a cash prize of $35,250 from a total purse of $267,082. The main draw is led by former world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova, and other notable players include Alycia Parks, Tatjana Maria, and Anna Blinkova.
The Transylvania Open proves to be an appealing destination for several players, having been voted the best WTA 250 tournament of the year by players in the last two seasons. The event is closely tied to the vibrant cultural scene and historical monuments of the region in Romania.
With a main draw of 32 players, Tatjana Maria, the 37-year-old German, rising Italian star Elisabetta Cocciareto, and the 2022 champion Anna Blinkova will join Pliskova. The top-ranked Romanian representative will be world No. 65 Ana Bogdan, followed by world No. 80 Jaqueline Cristian.
The total prize money sees a 3% increase from 2023, with a champion earning $35,250 and the runner-up receiving $20,830. Semifinalists will take home $11,610, and quarterfinalists will earn $6,608.
