Sorana Cirstea does not hide and has made a promise. In case of winning the title at this WTA 1000 Rome 2026, the 36-year-old Romanian will consider the possibility of postponing her retirement from professional tennis, scheduled for the end of this season. She is already in the quarterfinals after defeating Noskova 6-2 6-4 and awaits the winner of the match between Kalinskaya and Ostapenko.
