Raducanu 0-6 2-6 Cirstea
Raducanu, who was attended to by medical staff, looked tired and struggled for energy, which is understandable after a hard-fought semi-final on Friday.
Overall, it's been a good week for the Briton as she reached her first final since her 2021 US Open victory.
*Raducanu 0-6 2-6 Cirstea
Raducanu loses her serve and Cirstea wins game, set and match to lift the Transylvania Open title.
Another Raducanu double fault gives Cirstea victory on home soil in what the Romanian has said would be her last season on the WTA Tour.

*Raducanu 0-6 2-4 Cirstea
Raducanu goes 0-40 down and, while she saves the first break point with a crosscourt forehand, she then nets a backhand.
It's looking ominous for Raducanu.
Raducanu 0-6 2-3 Cirstea*
Raducanu wins with a volley at the net to get back to 15-15 and a Cirstea double fault takes the game to deuce. A wide Raducanu forehand gives Cirstea game point before the Romanian holds serve.
*Raducanu 0-6 2-2 Cirstea
Raducanu is pulled back to 30-30 but holds when Cirstea sends a forehand return long.

Raducanu gets on the scoreboard. She breaks to love with a forehand winner.
However, she then calls for the trainer.
*Raducanu 0-6 0-2 Cirstea
Raducanu produces another double fault on the way to 0-30 down. She delivers a nice forehand to get back to 30-30 but another double fault gives Cirstea a break point.

Raducanu 0-6 0-1 Cirstea*
It seems Raducanu is feeling the effects of her lengthy semi-final win yesterday when she beat Oleksandra Oliynykova in a near three-hour match.
Cirstea races through the first game of the second set as she holds serve.
*Raducanu 0-6 Cirstea
Raducanu, serving to stay in the set, is broken again. Despite being 40-15 up, she loses the game with a double fault and gifts Cirstea the set.
That took 29 minutes.
Raducanu 0-5 Cirstea*
Easy hold for Cirstea as she wins a fifth game in a row. Raducanu came back from 5-0 down to beat Kaja Juvan in the last 16 earlier this week but Cirstea presents a more difficult challenge.
*Raducanu 0-4 Cirstea
Raducanu's serve is coming under severe pressure and she is broken again.
The Brit double faults at 30-15 and, while she saves one break point, she double faults again on another to go 4-0 down.
Raducanu 0-3 Cirstea*
Raducanu's turn to exert some pressure. She takes Cirstea to deuce but can't force a break point as her rivals holds.
*Raducanu 0-2 Cirstea
Raducanu loses the first three points on her serve and faces three break points. She then ups her service game to save all three but nets a backhand on deuce.
She then manages to save another as Cirstea sends a forehand long and saves another break point with a forehand winner, but Cirstea takes her sixth break point when a Raducanu forehand goes wide.
A confident start from Cirstea as she comfortably holds serve to love thanks to winners with both backhand and forehand.
It’ll be interesting to see who the crowd support today. Sorana Cirstea is a home favourite but Raducanu, whose father Ion is from Bucharest, has had plenty of support from the Romanian crowd as well this week.
