Tennis Prediction of the Day Sorribes Tormo vs Sorana Cirstea
I expect the Sorana to trust her game following the good result from the US Open and to produce the surprise in this game, starting from the position of counter-favorite. The results on the hard one recommend the Romanian in this match, Sara Sorribes Tormo being much more accustomed to the slow, clay-like lands, where he has additional reaction time, and I am thus betting on the victory of Sorana Cirstea in this duel.
