Irina Fetecău (born 17 April 1996) is a Romanian professional tennis player.[1]
In her career, Fetecău has won three singles and four doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 29 November 2021, she achieved her career-high singles ranking of world No. 207. On 28 January 2019, she peaked at No. 310 in the doubles rankings.
Fetecău made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2019 Bucharest Open, having been handed a wildcard into the doubles event, partnering fellow Romanian Georgia Crăciun.[2]
In April 2025, she was given a 10-month suspension from tennis after providing a positive doping test. Her sample contained the banned stimulant 4-Methylpentan-2-amin which the International Tennis Integrity Agency accepted she had accidentally ingested via a contaminated supplement. Fetecău's ban will end on 24 February 2026.[3][4]
