THE PREDICTION
World number 34 Sorana Cirstea suffered the misfortune of drawing eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka in Madrid two weeks ago, losing in straight sets to the Belarussian almost exactly a month on from shocking her to reach the semi-finals of the Miami Open. The Romanian maintained her strong form with an excellent run to a Challenger title on clay last week to bring a winning streak into the Italian Open, where she should have much more joy on a clay court at lower altitude than Madrid. World number 102 Katie Volynets enjoyed a run to the semi-finals of a Challenger in France last week but her last tour-level victory came in early March and this is a bad time to meet Cirstea for the first time. Cirstea could go far this fortnight with the right draw and she can be backed to win this opener in straight sets with confidence brimming.
