Sorana is an uncomfortable opponent for Bencic. Twice in her career, the rivals have played each other. Both times Sorana won, including in the recent match in Cincinnati. Undoubtedly, this factor will add motivation to Belinda, who is looking to defend last year’s quarterfinals in New York.
In Cincinnati, they played 31 games in three sets. We think tonight will be a tough match as well.
Sorana Cirstea has been unstable in the pre-slam hard-court tournaments. However, in Cincinnati, she was able to surprise, defeating her current opponent Belinda Bencic (6-2, 6-7, 6-4). However, she was defeated in the second round by Petra Kvitova (2-6, 3-6). In Cleveland, she also suffered a second-round exit against Magda Linette (4-6, 2-6).
In New York, Sorana started with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Laura Siegemund. The positive result for herself was achieved mainly due to more stable play on the backhand.
Cirstea has lost 4 of her last 5 matches against opponents from the top 15.
Belinda Bencic has a tough task in New York. She needs to defend her ranking points from last year’s quarter-finals. She took the first step towards her goal as she defeated Andrea Petkovic (6-2, 4-6, 6-4) at the start.
Against Andrea, Belinda dominated but lost the set. She was very reliable on her serve with 70% of her points.
Belinda Bencic has won 5 of her last 6 matches at the US Open.
