Winners Open – first edition
Winners Open was the first tennis tournament in Romania organized in 2020, after three months of isolation (July 2-5), in the prize money system. The competition was attractive for six big names from romanian tennis: Irina Begu, Irina Bara, Gabriela Ruse, Jaqueline Cristian, Georgia Craciun and Miriam Bulgaru.
Gabriela Ruse won the grand prize of $ 10,000 and had the chance to play a mixed doubles demonstration match with Simona Halep, Horia Tecau and Marius Copil. The tournament complied with all security measures imposed by the authorities.
