In-form Sorana Cirstea will take on 10th seed Linda Noskova in the second round of the Dubai Tennis Championship. This will mark their second career meeting, and the winner will play Jasmine Paolini or Alexandra Eala for a place in the quarters. Below is our prediction for this match.
Linda Noskova defeated Ann Li in the first round as she returned to Dubai after a quarter-final finish in her debut last season. She won in three sets as she earned her fifth win in eight outings.
The world number 14 hasn’t had a sustained run at an event this season and will hope to change this this week. Noskova, who defeated Cirstea two seasons ago in Brisbane, hasn’t won more than two matches at an event.
Sorana Cirstea is in red-hot form. The Romanian has turned back the years in her final campaign as a pro and has won 11 of 13 outings.
Cirstea arrived in Dubai for her 10th appearance after winning the Transylvanian Open and used the momentum to win her opening round tie.
Currently on a six-match winning streak, the 35-year-old defeated the qualifier Aliaksandra Sasnovich in straight sets. The win continued her streak of not losing a first-round tie in Dubai to five tournaments. Cirstea is a former Dubai semi-finalist.
