Romanian tennis player Sorana Cirstea has requested the return of her trophy from last week’s WTA tournament in Cleveland.
The request was made after noticing it was missing from her hotel room during the US Open.
The 35-year-old Cirstea won the title at the US Open warm-up event by defeating American An Li in the Land tournament final last week.
She defeated the 6-2, 6-4 in the Cleveland final, marking third win in her career in WTA single title. Follower her victory, she jumped 41 places in the official Women’s Tennis Association which was played between August 16 and 23.
However, she lost second round in New York this week, losing to 11th seed Karolina Muchova.
With the defeat, the disappearance of the Cleveland trophy- her first Harcourt singles title since 2008 added to her woes.
The trophy disappeared from her room in New York, and following that, she took to her social for a plea regarding the trophy.
She was also competing in the women’s doubles but lost in the first round with partner Anna Kalinskaya.
“Whoever stole my Cleveland trophy from room 314 at the @fiftysonesta please give it back,” the world number 71 wrote on Instagram on Saturday.
“It has NO material value, just sentimental value. It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you,” she said.
