Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliynykova secured her first main-draw victory at the WTA 250 Transylvania Open in Cluj-Napoca, defeating Mayar Sherif in a three-set thriller. She highlighted severe electricity shortages in Kyiv due to Russian attacks that nearly prevented her travel. Oliynykova's resilience shone through as she advanced to the quarterfinals with another straight-sets win.
Emma Raducanu advanced to the second round of the WTA Transylvania Open with a strong 6-0, 6-4 victory over Greet Minnen. She will next play world No. 97 Kaja Juvan, who defeated Elena Ruxandra Bertea 6-3, 6-4 in her opener. The match is scheduled for February 4, 2026, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
