After a series of four consecutive defeats, Sorana Cirstea is looking to make a good tournament in Jurmala, Latvia, in order to increase her confidence in the game. She will meet in the first round Russian Valentyna Ivaknenko in the first match of Tuesday, starting at 13:00.
The 29-year-old Romanian player now occupies the 96th position in the WTA ranking at this moment, being close to descending from the first hundred WTA.The current season was rather inconstant for Sorana, the best result being the Nurnberg clay, where it reached the semifinals, and the clay was also the favorite game surface.He crosses an unsuccessful series with four consecutive defeats, without winning the second round at Roland Garros.
The 26-year-old Russia player now occupies the 228th place in the WTA rankings, the highest position being the 168th place.He took part in most of his career so far in small-sized ITF tournaments, managing several important victories this season.In this tournament she had to win 2 qualifying tournament matches to join the main board, losing a set against Marie Benoit.
The two players met once in 2016 on Mallorca grass, where Cirstea was clearly set 2-0 in sets.
Sorana crosses a very poor period and is in great danger of leaving the top 100 at the end of this week, which is why she needs a stronger performance at the Latvian tournament.
He comes after four consecutive defeats, the last, painful, last week, even in Bucharest, against the 21-year-old, Jaqueline Cristian.
The strongest performance this season has succeeded on the clay in Nurnberg, managed to reach the semifinals.
At the age of 26, the athlete in Ukraine is a modest tennis player, with no results in the WTA circuit, never able to get into the top 150.
He was on the main board at Jurmala thanks to winning the qualifying matches, against some lower-ranked athletes.
The tournament in Latvia is the first on the clay this season where the Russian will be on the main painting.
Sorana Cirstea is looking for a new victory after a long break, meeting a much more inexperienced player, which she won three years ago. Not surprisingly many top jockeys in this tournament, Sorana has the potential to achieve a remarkable result in gaining confidence in the game before the North American hardcore season, and a pretty clear victory is expected in this first round against a player inexperienced, with no notable results.
