Tennis Prediction of the Day Sorana Cirstea vs Julia Goerges

Germanca starts with the first chance in this match, having an excellent morale after returning from 0-1 to the sets of the previous match, and Goerges is even a morale player, having extremely aggressive hits and played to the limit. Sorana Cirstea will have trouble finding solutions to optimally return the ball to the field, because the German will speculate any shorter ball of romance and take the initiative. I bet on a match controlled by Julia Goerges and a qualification in the next round. If you need to watch this event in live stream online please visit RojaDirecta
