Sorana Cirstea vs Linda Noskova prediction
Sorana Cirstea continued her brilliant run of form as she defeated Diana Shnaider in straight sets. The Romanian was always in control, only conceding the one break point and dominating the second set tiebreak to claim a 6-3 7-6 (0) win after one hour and 32 minutes. Cirstea is retiring at the end of this campaign, but already has a title to her name following success at the Transylvania Open, and she now has nine wins from her last 10 matches.
She faces Linda Noskova next. The Czech comfortably defeated Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in straight sets to advance to the next stage of the competition. Noskova won 83% of her first serve points as she wrapped up a 6-3 6-3 victory after just one hour and 11 minutes.
The head-to-head is locked at 1-1, but Cirstea won their most recent meeting in Dubai last month, comfortably defeating Noskova in straight sets. She is performing as well as ever at the moment, and will be fully confident of another win in the space of a few weeks.
