Kamilla Rakhimova vs Sorana Cirstea prediction
Kamilla Rakhimova suffered an early exit at the Australian Open last time out as she was defeated by two-time Grand Slam singles champion Coco Gauff in round one. This followed two defeats at the qualifying stages of Brisbane and Adelaide. She is yet to record a main draw victory in 2026, and she has her work cut out against third seed Sorana Cirstea.
The Romanian fared slightly better in Melbourne as she recorded an impressive win in the first-round, coming from a set down to beat Eva Lys. She played well against Naomi Osaka in round two, forcing a third set against the four-time Grand Slam champion, but she soon fell away. This is Cirstea’s last season on tour, as she signalled her intention to retire at the end of the year.
Cirstea will be motivated to pick up a title in her farewell season, and she’ll be the clear favourite against the lower ranked Rakhimova.
