Patricia Maria Țig (born 27 July 1994) is an inactive Romanian tennis player. Țig has a career-high WTA singles ranking of world No. 56, achieved on 26 October 2020. Her best doubles ranking of No. 155 was achieved on 14 November 2016. Țig has won one singles title on the WTA Tour and one WTA 125 title, as well as twenty-one singles titles and eleven doubles titles on the ITF Circuit.
Career 2015: First WTA Tour finals Țig made her WTA Tour debut at the Bucharest Open where she received a wildcard into the singles main draw, and won against Sílvia Soler Espinosa (retired at 6–4, 3–1) in the first round, before losing 0–6, 2–6 to Polona Hercog. In doubles, paired to co-national Andreea Mitu, Țig reached her first WTA Tour final, but ended runner-up.
She then did much better in Baku by defeating Oksana Kalashnikova 6–1, 6–3 to qualify, and in the main draw qualifiers Olga Ianchuk (6–4, 6–2) and Olga Savchuk (7–5, 6–4), and then Donna Vekić (6–3, 6–2), and in the semifinals top seed and world No. 42, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 6–3, 6–2, thus reaching her first WTA Tour singles final (without losing one set) and entering top 120 in the WTA rankings. She lost the final to Margarita Gasparyan, in three sets.
2017–2018: Break from tour After a period of struggling with her performances in the second half of 2017 season, she decided to focus on her health, citing back pain as the main source of discomfort. Her last played tournament was the (Guangzhou Open) in September 2017. Țig became an inactive player on 24 September 2018, after not playing for 52 consecutive weeks.WTA.

2019: Back on the ITF Circuit and to WTA Tour events Țig returned to action in April 2019, after healing her injuries and giving birth to daughter Sofia in November 2018. She played a series of nine $15k tournaments over ten weeks in Cancún, Mexico. She retired or gave her opponent a walkover in three of the first four, as the inactivity led to injuries – including a recurrence of the knee issue. By the fifth tournament, she made the final. She did the same in the seventh, and won the last two.
The Romanian would have preferred to start at the $25k level. But the new pro circuit rules instituted for 2019 made it impossible for her to gain entry with no ranking. She earned no ranking points for those results. "So we went there for nothing. I got, like, 30 points (actually, 37), which means I'm going to be around 500 (in the WTA rankings). So that doesn't get me anywhere", she said in an interview. Țig will find them reinstated in August as the ITF partly rolls back the new circuit rules.
Țig returned to the WTA Tour at the Bucharest Open as a wildcard into qualifying. She won her three rounds of qualifying to make it to the main draw where she defeated Anna Bondár in the first round to advance to the last 16. In the second round, she defeated the top seed and defending champion Anastasija Sevastova, 6–2, 7–5. She went on to defeat Kristýna Plíšková and Laura Siegemund. In the final, she lost to Elena Rybakina. This was the second singles final in her career. She returned to rankings on July 22, at No. 264.
At the Baltic Open, where she used her protected ranking, she defeated Ankita Raina and Anhelina Kalinina, before losing to Anastasia Potapova.
Țig won the Karlsruhe Open, a WTA 125 tournament, defeating Alison Van Uytvanck and advancing back in the top 150, to No. 148. She finished the season in the top 125 at world No. 111 on 4 November 2019.
2020–2022: French Open third round, WTA Tour title & top 60, hiatus After reaching semifinals at the Thailand Open, where she lost to Magda Linette, Țig reentered top 100, reaching world No. 84 on 17 February 2020.
In September 2020, she won her first WTA Tour title at Istanbul. On 26 October 2020, she reached her career-high ranking of world No. 56.
2023–2025: Comeback Țig came back at the 2023 Hobart International and at the 2023 Australian Open, using protected ranking after a year and a half of inactivity on the WTA Tour (since Wimbledon 2021). In June 2023, Țig reached the quarterfinals in Bucharest at an ITF event, then also the quarterfinals in Bacău a month later. In July, Tig entered two WTA 250 tournaments, in Lausanne and Prague, but lost each time in the first round. She also entered the 2023 Transylvania Open with protected ranking. Țig received a wildcard for the doubles competition at the 2025 Transylvania Open, partnering with Briana Szabó.
