This victory marks Begu\u2019s sixth career title, her first since 2022, and her third consecutive clay\u2011court trophy<\/p>\n<p>This triumph in Romania will see her return to the WTA Top\u202f100. She will climb 28 places in the rankings, rising to world No.\u202f82 \u2013 her best position since April 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Begu controlled the match from start to finish, finishing with 25 winners compared to just 9 for Teichmann. The Swiss player was hampered by injuries \u2013 notably strapping on her left thigh and right knee \u2013 and clearly was not at her best on the Iasi clay.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, Teichmann struggled with her second serve, winning just 35\u202f% of those points (6\/17), which Begu capitalized on brilliantly. Begu produced a flawless first set, bagelling her opponent.<\/p>\n<p>In the second set, Teichmann showed more fight, breaking to lead 4\u20112 before being overtaken by the Romanian. This win marks Begu\u2019s second title on home soil, having previously triumphed in Bucharest in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unicredit Iasi Open \u2022Final \u2022 Completed See draw At the UniCredit Iasi Open final, Irina\u2011Camelia Begu delivered a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[79,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-277834","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
