At the Australian Open in Melbourne, the young Romanian tennis player Filip Jianu failed to qualify for the singles final in the juniors category, where he was 4th-seed. In this past Friday's semifinals, Jianu sustained a 3-6, 6-2, 7-5 defeat by the 14th-seed Emilio Nava of the US. Filip Jianu was unable to go past the men's doubles semifinals either, where he paired up with Spain's Nicolas Alvarez Varona. They were defeated by the all-American pair made of Cannon Kingsley and Emilio Nava, 6-3, 6-4.


In men's handball, Steaua Bucharest have yet again failed to grab a win in the SEHA League regional competition. On Thursday, on home turf in Chiajna, Steaua sustained a 19-31 defeat by Croatian opponents RK Nexe Našice. The Croats are the runner-up team in the League tables, while Vardar Skopje are at the top. Steaua's next fixture is scheduled for February the 5th, when the Romanians take on Belarus opponents Meshkov Brest, away from home.


We continue with women's handball. In the Champions League's main group 2, on Saturday, CSM Bucharest will face the Hungarian side Gyor, away from home. Currently, Gyor top the group, with 2 points more that CSM Bucharest on their record sheet. Having sustained a serious injury at the European Championship in December, Cristina Neagu will not be on the pitch for the game.


In the EHF Cup's Group A on Saturday, Măgura Cisnădie travel to Norway for their match against Storhamar. We recall that Magura Cisnadie have so far lost all the three group fixtures. In Group D, cup holders SCM Craiova travel to Koprivnica, in Croatia, for their game against Podravka. With three wins in a similar number of games, Podravka are at the top of the table in group D, while SCM Craiova are at the bottom, with only one win in three games played.


We go out with news from football, as the Romanian football teams continue their training stages in countries with a warmer climate. In their last game in Spain's Malaga, FCSB drew against Dinamo Kiev, 1-all. In Antalya, Viitorul Constanta sustained a 1-2 defeat by Georgia's champions Saburtalo, as part of their training stage in Turkey. Also in Antalya, part of the ongoing training stage, FC Voluntari lost the last friendly match with the Hungarians from Szombathelyi Haladás.
