In-form Sorana Cirstea will play qualifier Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the opening round of the 2026 Dubai Tennis Championship. This will be their first career meeting, and the winner will face Linda Noskova next. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Cirstea is back on the tour after an excellent week in Cluj-Napoca, where she was crowned champion. The Romanian announced at the start of the campaign that this would be her last season as a pro, and what a season she is having.
She has won 10 of 12 matches and, with her recent success on home soil, has seen her move back into the WTA’s top 30. Cirstea is a former Dubai semi-finalist, achieving this feat two seasons ago.
Aliaksandra Sasnovich will hope the momentum gained after winning both of her qualifiers propels her past this round. The Belarusian has not had the best of runs in Dubai over the years, and only twice has she won a main draw match here.
To set up this tie with Cirstea, Sasnovich defeated Sonay Kartal, the third seed in the qualifying rounds, in straight sets. It was her 11th win in 16 outings this season.
Most of Sasanovich’s wins have been in the preliminary round of tour events. The 32-year-old takes on Cirstea, having improved to 113th in the live ranking.

Our Sorana Cirstea vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich Prediction
Our prediction for Sorana Cirstea v Aliaksandr Sasnovich is for the exact score: 2-1. Cirstea is having an exciting season, and only on two occasions has she failed to win. With 10 victories, the Romanian arrives in Dubai off the back of a title victory in Cluj-Napoca.
The momentum gained from that success should be able to power her to a win against an inconsistent opponent. Sasnovich has lost four times in her last eight outings. She will be no pushover, though; as a hard-court specialist, she is more than capable of winning a set here.
