Sorana Cirstea won the Transylvania Open by defeating Emma Raducanu 6–0, 6–2 in sixty-three minutes. The thirty-five-year-old claimed her fourth tour singles title on home soil during the season she had announced would be her last as a professional player.
Cirstea broke Raducanu in all three service games of the opening set. Raducanu recovered from 2–0 down to level the second, but the Romanian then won the remaining four games to finish the final.
Cirstea became the third Romanian woman to win a tour title at home in the Open Era, following Simona Halep and Irina-Camelia Begu. Halep presented the trophy after Cirstea completed the tournament without losing a set.
