Emma Raducanu vs Sorana Cirstea prediction
Emma Raducanu reached her first tour-level final since the 2021 US Open after a hard-fought win over Oleksandra Oliynykova. Raducanu broke for the first time in the ninth game of the first set, only to hand the break back to Oliynykova after failing to serve it out. Nevertheless, she regrouped quickly with another break and went on to go in front. She looked on course for victory at 3-1 in the second, but the Ukrainian won five games in a row to level the match up. Raducanu went an early break down in the decider but recovered to win 7-5 3-6 6-3.
She takes on Sorana Cirstea in the final. The Romanian kept alive her hopes of a title in her final season on tour with an emphatic win over Daria Snigur. Cirstea won the first seven service games in the match and was not broken on serve as she won 6-0 6-3. She has not dropped a set from her four matches this week.
Raducanu leads the head-to-head after a win over Cirstea at Wimbledon in 2021. Both players will be desperate for this title, and this has all the makings of a tight match.
