Sorana Cirstea Skips Doha After Cluj Title, Says Retirement Near

Less than 24 hours after routing Raducanu 6-0, 6-2 for the Cluj-Napoca title, Cirstea withdrew from Doha instead of rushing to Qatar. Beatriz Haddad Maia replaces her as a lucky loser. In Cluj, the 35-year-old said, I will retire from tennis at the end of this year… a happy person. She rises to No. 31 and targets Dubai Feb. 15.
