Seventh seed Sorana Cirstea will play the unseeded Ajla Tomljanovic in the second round of the Hong Kong Tennis Open. This is their second meeting of the year and fifth overall. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Sorana Cirstea, who is debuting in Hong Kong, defeated Dalma Galfi in straight sets in the first round. That was her fourth win in the last five outings, and she will hope for a deeper run than in Osaka last week.
Cirstea, a champion in Cleveland earlier in the year, reached the Japan Women’s Open semi-finals. The Romanian, who has won once previously against Tomljanovic, has moved up to 44th in the live ranking.
Ajla Tomljanovic has won three times previously against Cirstea. Her most recent victory came on grass back in June in Bad Homburg.
Though none of her wins have come in the main draw, she will be confident of extending her advantage here. Tomljanovic, who is also making her Hong Kong debut, overcame the challenge of Momoko Kobori in the first round.
She won in straight sets to improve to 27-25 and jump up to 82nd in the live ranking. The 32-year-old has won four of the six second-round ties she has contested this season.
