Our Sorana Cirstea vs Sara Bejlek Prediction
The Difference Maker: Bejlek will need to neutralize Cirstea’s first-strike offense to get a better shot at revenge. When she’s in her element, Bejlek has proved time after time again that she can take down big hitters like Aryna Sabalenka, Madison Keys, and Barbora Krejcikova. Cirstea is certainly not safe in this matchup.
What to Expect: It’s going to be a close match, but Bejlek will be more prepared in her second duel with Cirstea. Bejlek’s scrappiness and willingness to engage in long rallies will test Cirstea’s patience, forcing the Romanian to operate outside her comfort zone.
Fearless Forecast: Sara Bejlek wins 6-4, 4-6, 7-6
