Patricia Maria Ţig, 29 years old and ranked 387 in the WTA standings, has once again proven to be an undeniable force in women's tennis. She recently won the ITF tournament in Galaţi, which had a total prize fund of $15,000, establishing herself as the top favorite. The tournament, organized by the Ion Ţiriac Foundation, the Romanian Tennis Federation, and ASC X Tennis Galaţi, with the support of NIRO Investment Group, culminated in Patricia's victory over Elena Ruxandra Bertea, with a final score of 6-4, 6-2.
The victory in Galaţi marks Patricia Ţig's 17th ITF title of her career and the second this year, following her win last month at the ITF tournament in Focşani, which featured the Ion Ţiriac Trophy and total prizes of $15,000.
The Ţiriac Foundation Futures Galaţi 2024 tournament, held earlier this month, was the inaugural edition of a major international event, part of the ITF Tours circuit. The competition brought 32 athletes to Galaţi in the singles event and 16 pairs in the doubles. Among the Romanian players on the main draw were Ilinca Dalina Amariei and Georgia Andreea Crăciun. The competition also attracted athletes from countries such as Ukraine, Great Britain, Poland, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and Peru.
As the tournament's sponsor, NIRO Investment Group reaffirms its commitment to supporting Romanian sports and promoting events that highlight the talent and determination of our athletes.
Congratulations to Patricia Maria Ţig for her victory and to everyone involved in organizing this tournament!
