Veronika Podrez has taken WTA Rouen by storm, and she will be looking to extend her winning run against the experienced Sorana Cirstea. The two clash in the second semi-final, with the qualifier Podrez meeting second seed Cirstea for the first time. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Podrez is having quite the debut, and after winning five straight matches, the Ukrainian has leapt to a record 167th in the live rank. She added to her list of casualties Katie Boulter, with a straight-set win that lasted just over one hour.
In her five matches in Rouen the 19-year-old has only dropped one set. Earlier, Podrez had beaten seventh seed Elisabetta Cocciaretto and wildcard Sloane Stephens.
Cirstea, 26th in the live rankings, will be keen not to be the next high-profile casualty at the hands of Podrez. The Romanian has already succeeded at one semi-final and gone on to win the title – in Cluj.
She will be hoping for the same here, but first she must find a way around this giant killer. To make it to this round, Cirstea saw off Anna Bondar in straight sets.
Like Podrez, she has only dropped one set while playing only three matches so far. Her second-round opponent retired, meaning Cirstea has spent about two hours less on the courts, which will be a boost.
