Linda Noskova, the 14th seed at this year’s Indian Wells, will play Sorana Cirstea in the third round. This is their second meeting of the season. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Sorana Cirstea defeated 21st seed Diana Shnaider in straight sets in the last round. She has now won 14 matches in what is her final season on the tour. The Romanian announced at the start of the campaign that this would be her last season as a pro.

It has been a superb season so far, with the highlight being a triumphant run at Cluj-Napoca. A former Indian Wells quarter-finalist, Cirstea defeated Noskova in straight sets in Dubai three weeks ago.

Advancing to this round has seen the 35-year-old move up four places to 34th in the live ranking.

Linda Noskova defeated Cirstea when they faced off. This was in Brisbane two seasons ago. As she is having a shaky season, another victory over Cirstea will nudge her in the right direction.

The Czech star, who has never progressed past the third round at this event, defeated Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the last round. She won in straight sets as she marked a return to the tour after a disappointing early exit in Dubai.

The world number 14 has won six of 10 outings so far this season.
