Romanian tennis player Sorana Cîrstea announced on social media that she has to withdraw from Roland Garros due to medical issues.
In what could be Sorana Cîrstea’s last season as a professional tennis player (35 years old, 164 WTA), the Romanian player would have faced a tough first match at the Roland Garros tournament.
She was supposed to meet German player Tamara Korpatsch (30 years old, 148 WTA), who won the 2023 WTA tournament in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania Open.
In an Instagram post, Sorana wrote today: "Unfortunately, I have to withdraw from Roland Garros due to an ankle injury I've been dealing with for the past few weeks. I tried everything possible to be fit to play at Roland Garros. But my body is not ready. I want to thank the organizers in France for their help, I am very sad to miss this tournament. I hope to be back on the court and be 100% ready for the grass season," Sorana wrote on social media.
Cîrstea trained on the Parisian clay alongside coach Sven Groeneveld and physical trainer Andrei Cristofor.
