Iga Swiatek vs Sorana Cirstea prediction
Iga Swiatek could not add a second US Open title to her collection as she was beaten in the quarter-finals by Amanda Anisimova, who exacted revenge following her heavy Wimbledon final defeat. Swiatek headed into the final major of the year in high spirits, following her title win in Cincinnati and she will hope to end the season strongly.
Sorana Cirstea will be her first opponent in Seoul. Cirstea defeated Anastasia Zakharova for the second time in a month to book a meeting with the world number two. She blasted 24 winners and was always in control as she wrapped up a 6-3 6-1 victory after just an hour and five minutes.
Swiatek completely dominates the head-to-head, leading 5-0 and 4-0 on hard court. They faced each other just last month, with the Pole winning 6-4 6-3 in the round-of-16 on her way to winning the title in Cincinnati. Cirstea is a tough opponent and won a title in Cleveland just last month, but the six-time Grand Slam champion will be expected to come through this comfortably.
