Ana Bohdan vs. Karolina Pliskova in the finals of the WTA Transylvania Open

The former world leader in July 2017, the player from the Czech Republic did not give many chances to the British Harriet Dart (103 WTA).

With two identical sets, Pliskova reached the final after one hour and 24 minutes.

A double Grand Slam finalist (US Open 2016 and Wimbledon 2021), the Czech has 16 titles to her credit, the last of which she won four years ago.

On the other hand, Anu Bohdan (65 WTA) is waiting for the second final in her career after winning in Parma (2023) and losing in Warsaw (2022).

Transylvania Open will be held from February 5 to 11 in Cluj-Napoca. The tournament is held on closed hard, is part of the WTA 250 category and has a total prize pool of $267,082.

The competition was held three more times: 2021 (Anette Kontaveit won, score 6-2, 6-3, after the final with Simona Halep), 2022 (Anna Blinkova won, score 6-2, 3-6, 6-2, with Jasmine Paoloni ) and 2023 (Tamara Korpatch lifted the trophy after 6-3, 6-4 with Gabriela Ruse).
