![On the second match day of the Moldova Open 2025 main draw, the organizers once again faced weather-related challenges. From early morning, light rain began falling around Chișinău Arena, and although the courts had been carefully prepared for a 10:00 AM start, matches had to be postponed. The first wave of play began only after 2:00 PM, and shortly after, the rain returned again, eventually disrupting the day’s schedule entirely.
Despite the delays and the cancellation of the scheduled morning broadcast on the national channel Moldova 1, the organizers responded swiftly. All doubles matches were postponed, and the singles schedule was shortened. However, several important matches were played and delivered a high level of competition.
Match of the Day: Albot vs. Berankis
The clear highlight of the day was the match between Radu Albot (MDA) and Ricardas Berankis (LTU) — two players of nearly the same age who have known each other for years, both from the tour and through joint training sessions. Long-time friends off the court, the emotional stakes were high.
The match was gripping, featuring three sets, two tiebreaks, and many spectacular rallies. Radu Albot, the tournament’s fourth seed, claimed victory in a hard-fought battle — 7:6(3), 4:6, 7:6(7). Despite their friendship, both players competed fiercely. The match was a true gem of the tournament, thrilling the crowd with emotion and intensity.
Other results of the day:
• [Q] Stuart Parker (GBR) def. [WC] Ilya Snitari (MDA) – 6:2, 6:1
• [7] Lorenzo Giustino (ITA) def. Alastair Gray (GBR) – 6:2, 4:6, 7:6(7)
• [CO] Toby Samuel (GBR) def. [Q] Lilian Marmousez (FRA) – 7:5, 6:2
• [3] Denis Yevseyev (KAZ) def. [Q] Harry Wendelken (GBR) – 3:6, 6:1, 6:4
• Masamichi Imamura (JPN) def. Kasidit Samrej (THA) – 6:4, 7:5

Moldova Open 2025: Opening Day of Qualifying — Rainy Start, But Full Stands!
Today, the international tennis tournament Moldova Open, part of the ATP Challenger 50 series, officially began on the courts of Chișinău Arena. Although it was only the first day of the qualifying round, the tournament already demonstrated its importance to local fans and the young generation of athletes.
In the morning, both organizers and spectators anxiously waited for the rain to stop, which delayed the start of play. Matches began only after 1:00 PM, even though the initial start time was set for 10:00 AM. Fortunately, the weather improved quickly, and Chișinău Arena was soon filled with tennis excitement.
Despite the delayed start, the stands began to fill up early in the day. The atmosphere was inspiring: spectators warmly welcomed the players and gave especially loud support to those with ties to Moldova.
Organizers have already announced that tickets for the final day of the tournament are sold out! The semifinals on Saturday, May 31, are also in high demand — but tickets are still available. Tickets can be purchased at afisha.md and iticket.md.
