I came across an old tennis magazine of mine in which I guess when the World University Games where held in Bucharest, Romania in 1981, hometown girl Virginia Rucizi actually won the gold medal.
I'm kinda confused about that cause unlike Olympic tennis, The WUG is an amatuer event. The Tennis article even said it was but never elaborated how Rucizi got into the event.
So does anyone know how Virginia got into the games? I also don't think she is the first pro to win a WUG medal because a friend says that Japan's Rika Hiraki also won the event as a professional.
I'm asking you guys here because I can't seem to find any WUG archives for tennis.
Thanks for any info!!
