Sorana Cirstea vs Aryna Sabalenka – Match Predictions
Contents
Aryna Sabalenka to Win
Their meeting in Miami finished in favour of the Romanian and Sabalenka will look to bring their H2H equation to parity with her powerful game and aggressive style. The world number 2 is difficult to tame on any surface as evidenced by her march to the Stuttgart Open march to start the clay court swing of the tour. She’ll be looking to make a strong statement in the coming days and likely start by overpowering Cirstea and securing a win in their Madrid Open clash
2-0 to Aryna Sabalenka
With her aggressive baseline game and strong mental attitude, Cristea will be a tough opponent for anyone in the draw. She’s showing that she remains a force to be reckoned with and Sabalenka will be well advised to watch out for her. The Romanian won their recent duel in Miami in straight sets but is only returning to clay court after a month’s break. Sabalenka has four matches under her belt and should make his quality count to reverse her earlier defeat and claim passage to the next round in straight sets.
