Romania’s tennis player Simona
\nHalep started the year on the third position in the world ranking after
\nAustralian Ashley Barty and Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic. However, the
\nRomanian went second in an income ranking last year with nearly 7 million
\ndollars mainly thanks to her Wimbledon win. Halep’s first tournament this year
\nis the one in Adelaide, Australia, which will be followed by Australian Open. <\/p>\n

The Romanian athlete has already
\nmade public her goal for 2020, namely an Olympic medal, and in order to achieve
\nthis goal she will be focusing on getting in top shape before the
\naforementioned competition. For this reason the world’s number three tennis
\nplayer will not be able to represent Romania in the Fed Cup, where our players
\nare expected to take on Russia on February 7th and 8th in
\nCluj, western Romania.<\/p>\n

The city had also hosted other Fed
\nCup games, when Romania took on the Czech Republic and Germany in 2016 and on
\nCanada and Switzerland two years later. In case of a Russian victory, Romania
\nwill find itself among the 12 sides to be vying for the champion title of the
\nyear in a final tournament hosted by Budapest over April 14th and 19th.
\nWe recall that Romania’s players had made it to the semifinals of the
\naforementioned contest in 2019 when they were stopped in their tracks by
\nFrance. The best Romanian player in that competition was Simona Halep.<\/p>\n
