Wang Xinyu vs Sorana Cirstea prediction
Wang Xinyu came from a set down to win her first-round match against Chloe Paquet. The Chinese player dropped the first set as Paquet made a strong start, but she quickly wrestled back the momentum in her favour and went on to win 3-6 6-4 6-3 after two hours and 18 minutes.
She now faces Sorana Cirstea. The Romanian, who is set to retire at the end of this current campaign, squeezed past world number 218 Fiona Ferro. Cirstea has enjoyed a strong campaign up to this point, having picked up a title at the Transylvania Open, but she failed to close out the match on three separate occasions as Ferro forced a deciding set tiebreak. Cirstea would still advance, winning 6-3 6-7 (5) 7-6 (2) after two hours and 29 minutes.
Cirstea will need to improve in this match, but she has now won 20 of her 26 matches so far this season.
