Top seed Aryna Sabalenka will square off with the unseeded Sorana Cirstea in the third round in Brisbane on Wednesday. This will mark the third time that these two players face off, and the winner will play Diana Shnaider or Madison Keys in the quarter-finals. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Aryna Sabalenka is the defending champion in Brisbane. She had a dominant start to her title defence, taking just 48 minutes to get past Cristina Bucsa.
The world number one, who has made the final in each of her appearances in Brisbane, lost just one game against Bucsa. Sabalenka ended last season with an incredible 63-12 record and contested an amazing nine finals.
Sorana Cirstea won the very first meeting with Sabalenka. That was two seasons ago in Miami. That showdown remains their only encounter on a hardcourt.
A hard court specialist with almost 300 wins on the surface, Cirstea has won both of her matches to start the year.
Yet to relinquish a set, the Romanian defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round before seeing off Jelena Ostapenko. Cirstea ended last season with a 30-20 record and won five of her last seven matches to conclude the season.
