Cristina Bucșa was born in Chișinău, Moldova. Her father, Ion Bucșa, is a former Olympic biathlete who was Moldova's flag bearer at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics.[3][4] When she was three years old, her family moved to Cantabria in northern Spain; they originally moved to Las Fraguas before settling in Torrelavega.[5] Bucșa attended the Instituto Marqués De Santillana in Torrelavega, where she was awarded the title of Illustrious Alumna in December 2022.[6] She speaks Spanish, Romanian, English, and French.[7]

She received her Spanish passport in 2014 and began representing Spain in 2015.[3]

Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
