US EditionTennis Player Sorana Cirstea Says Trophy Was Stolen From Her New York Hotel Room During the US Open
Sorana Cirstea's trophy from her first hardcourt singles title since 2008 was taken from her hotel room, prompting a public appeal for its return during the US Open week.
- On August 31, 2025, Reuters reported that Sorana Cirstea issued a public plea after finding the Cleveland tournament trophy missing from her room at the Fifty Sonesta Hotel in New York.
- Last week, Cirstea warmed up for the US Open by beating American Ann Li in Tennis in the Land final, then lost to Karolina Muchova on August 28, 2025, at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
- On Instagram, the world No 71 appealed on Saturday, "Whoever stole my Cleveland trophy from room 314 at @thefiftysonesta please give it back," adding it "has NO material value, just sentimental value" and "It would be greatly appreciated!".
- The missing trophy deepened Cirstea's disappointment as Reuters contacted the Fifty Sonesta Hotel, New York, after she reported the Cleveland trophy's loss from her room.
- While in New York for the US Open, Cirstea's Cleveland trophy vanished during the tournament, carrying sentimental value from her title won last week.
