WTA tennis comes to Romania in July with the inaugural Bucharest Open on the red clay of the Arenele BNR, which also hosts an ATP event in April. "We are very happy to be able to bring together in Bucharest the greatest names of worldwide women's tennis," said George Cosac, President of the Romanian Tennis Federation, which is organizing the tournament. "This is the first time the federation is running a WTA tournament in Romania and we are very proud that the list of players includes great names of Romanian tennis, such as Simona Halep.
We will witness a top-quality sports show and we are convinced the Romanian audience will enjoy a memorable experience." "I have played so many times in important tournaments outside the country and I've always wanted to be able to play a WTA tournament organized in my home country," said Romanian No.1 Halep. "I am happy I now have this opportunity." Bucharest is Romania's capital city and industrial and commercial center.
