In&#13;<br \/>\nthe semifinals, Szocs was defeated by German challenger Ying Han, 4-nil. A 2018&#13;<br \/>\nchampion, also in Montreux, Bernadette Sz\u0151cs was for the 8th time&#13;<br \/>\ntaking part in the competition that brings together Europe&#8217; s top-flight women table&#13;<br \/>\ntennis players. We recall that in Thessalonica in 2021, Szocs was 3rd-placed&#13;<br \/>\nand 2nd-placed, in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Romania&#8217; s national rugby squad has dramatically&#13;<br \/>\ndecreased its chances to secure a straight qualification to the World Cup 2023.&#13;<br \/>\nThis past Sunday, the Romanian national team sustained a 28-31 defeat by Spain. The latter team scored no less than 5 tries. Romania had a poor&#13;<br \/>\nrun on the pitch, with flaws galore, in the defensive game but also in the handling&#13;<br \/>\nof the ball, mostly in the first half. Romania scored three tries, of which two&#13;<br \/>\nby Hinckley Vaovasa and one by Marius Simionescu. Romania&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nIonel Melinte successfully converted the team&#8217;s first try, while Daniel Plai converted&#13;<br \/>\nthe text two. Qualifying straight to the 2023 edition of the World Cup are the&#13;<br \/>\nfirst two teams of the 2021 and 2022 rankings all told. The third-placed team&#13;<br \/>\nplays the repechage. If they still want to keep their hopes alive for a straight&#13;<br \/>\nqualification, on March the 12 in Bucharest the Romanians must defeat the competition&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nbest team, Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>For the seventh time Sepsi Sf\u00e2ntu Gheorghe has won&#13;<br \/>\nRomanian Cup in women&#8217;s basketball. In this past Sunday&#8217;s final&#13;<br \/>\nagainst Municipal Satu Mare, Sepsi&#13;<br \/>\nwon, 59-53. Holders Sepsi made the difference in the last fifteen minutes&#13;<br \/>\nof play. When the score board displayed a 52-53 advantage for Satu Mare, Sepsi scored&#13;<br \/>\nseven points in a row in the last 95 seconds of play. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Matches counting towards the 28th round of&#13;<br \/>\nthe regular football season were played at the weekend. On Friday in Arad, UTA&#13;<br \/>\ndefeated Academica Clinceni, 2-nil, while on home turf, Universitatea Craiova&#13;<br \/>\ndefeated Chindia T\u00e2rgovi\u0219te, 1-nil. In Medias on Saturday, Gaz&#13;<br \/>\nMetan sustained a 3 defeat by FC U Craiova. In Sf\u00e2ntu Gheorghe, CFR Cluj secured a 2-nil win against Sepsi. In the 28th&#13;<br \/>\nround&#8217;s derby that pitted Rapid Bucharest against Dinamo the score was 1-all. On&#13;<br \/>\nSunday, the game pitting FC Arges against FC Voluntari ended in a blank draw. FC&#13;<br \/>\nBotosani were also held by CS Mioveni to a blank draw. The 28th round&#8217;s surprise was provided by Farul&#13;<br \/>\nConstanta, the team that succeeded a 2-nil away win against FCSB.
