Third seed Sorana Cirstea and fifth seed Anastasia Potapova will meet in the quarter-finals at the Transylvanian Open. The winner of their third career meeting will play Daria Snigur or Yuan Yue for a place in the final. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Potapova is the defending champion in Cluj-Napoca. Though she has made it to the last eight, she hasn’t been in convincing form. The Austrian has needed a decider in both of her matches this week after dropping the opening set.

She battled against Lucia Bronzetti in the first round and then Anastasia Zakharova to advance to the quarters. Currently down 17 places in the live ranking to 75th, Potapova has managed six wins so far this season.

The 24-year-old defeated Cirstea in their only other encounter on an indoor surface.

Cirstea defeated Potapova in their most recent meeting. Though this was six years ago, she will be confident of another win against the Austrian, especially as she has been in form this week.

Cirstea has been in dominant shape on home soil and hasn’t lost a set in two outings. After defeating Kamila Rakhimova in the first round by the loss of eight games, Cirstea had almost no mistakes in the next round.

Facing lucky loser Tamara Zidansek, the world number 36 dropped just one game as she won in under an hour.
