Veronika Kudermetova v Sorana Cirstea Head to Head
Cirstea won their only previous match in Barritz in 2016.

Kudermetova Searching For Early Season Form
A finalist in Abu Dhabi, a champion in Charleston and a semifinalist in Istanbul, the World No. 29 will be pretty happy with her performance this season. The 24-year-old has however struggled since the beginning of the grass season and is 3-6 since Berlin.
In her two tournaments in North America leading up to the U.S. Open, she beat Yulia Putintseva in the first round in Montreal but lost to Maria Sakkari in the second; while in Cincinnati, she eliminated Jasmin Paolin in the opener, but failed to find a way past Petra Kvitova in the second round.
Coming into her third U.S. Open, the world No. 31 will be hoping to at least win a match this year, having bowed out of the opening rounds in 2019 and 2020.
The aggressive Russian has been equally good on hard and clay this season. She reached the final in Abu Dhabi beating top players in Elina Svitolina and Annett Kontaveit but faltered against arena Sabalenka in the final.
There was no heartbreak in Charleston though, where she went all the way to her maiden title, defeating Danka Kovinic in the final.

Cirstea Has Seen A Dip in Form
It’s been a year of resurgence for the World No. 39, who won her first title in 13 years, defeating Elise Mertens in the final in Istanbul.
She didn’t stop there though, reaching a second final of the season in Strasbourg, only to finish runner-up to Barbora Krejcikova. She also made it to the Round of 16 at Roland Garros, but ever since the conclusion of the clay season, Cirstea has seen a dip in form.
She is currently on a three match losing streak, which began with a second round defeat to Victoria Azarenka in Montreal. Jil Teichman handed her a first round drubbing in Cincinnati, while Tereza Martincova sent her packing in the first round in Chicago.
With the 31-year-old Romanian struggling in North America a first win in N.Y. since 2017 seems unlikely. Cirstea, who reached the third round four years ago, lost her opener in 2018 and hasn’t featured over the last two years.
Kudermetova v Cirstea Prediction and Tip
