Romanian star Jaqueline Cristian continues to follow yearly tradition of wearing Dracula cape at Transylvania Open

Romania’s tennis star Jaqueline
Cristian has continued the yearly tradition at the Transylvania Open.
The 25-year-old is taking part in
the event where she has already booked her place in the second round after
winning the round of 32 clash against Switzerland’s Celine Naef with a score of
6-4, 6-4.
Despite her impressive on-court
performances, Cristian has not forgotten to follow the year tradition at the
event.
In 2021, the Transylvania Open was
organised in the week of Halloween and was branded as the ‘Spooky Open. The
tournament’s theme was set to purple colour.
To compliment that, Cristian wore
the Dracula cape ahead of every match. That tradition has now been followed
for the last three years.
The Bucharest-born is now set to
face Germany’s Eva Lys in the round of 16 tie on Thursday. It will be the first
time when both players will face off on the tennis court.
Cristian will be hoping to
overcome her next challenge and continue her winning run in the competition
after suffering a heartbreak in the previous WTA tournament in Rouen where she
was knocked out after losing the semifinal to Switzerland’s Viktorija Golubic
in straight sets with a score of 7-5, 6-4.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
