Cirstea Returns after Brilliant US Open Showing
It’s been a season to remember for Cirstea in more ways than one and she will now hope to close it by getting as close to her career-best ranking of 21st that she had achieved nine years ago.
Cirstea, who is 25th coming into this tournament, will start off here with a brilliant showing at the US Open under her belt. The Romanian, who is now the number one from her country following the suspension of Simona Halep, shocked Elena Rybakina and Belinda Bencic on her way to the last eight stage at that tournament.
And it was no flash in the pan moment for Cirstea, who has been doing well elsewhere too.
Like for instance what happened in Indian Wells and Miami. At the former she made the quarterfinal with Madison Keys and Caroline Garcia shown the exit door. Cirstea followed that up with a semifinal appearance at the latter as she overcame Garcia again and then Marketa Vondrousova and Aryna Sabalenka.
A solid couple of results in this last one month or so of tennis will go a long way in helping her even break into the top 20 for the first time in her career. Unsurprisingly, Cirstea is a heavy favourite at 1/4 (with bet365) to win this.

Liu Form Takes Another Nosedive
This is the story of Liu’s tennis career – inconsistencies interspersed with the odd sparkle of brilliance.
When Liu reached the final of the WTA 125 event in Chicago, there were a case for the American entering the US Open on a high. Instead she failed to do too much in her opener against Liudmilla Samsonova and in the following two tournaments in San Diego and Guangzhou Liu has again crashed out early.
In fact at the San Diego Open, Liu was unable to make it past the qualifiers while last week in Guangzhou she had a direct entry but fell to the 11/10 underdog (with bet365) Diana Shnaider in the opener.
Now coming up against an in-form Cirstea, it’s no surprise Liu starts off at 3/1 odds (at bet365) to surprise her opponent.
Cirstea v Liu Prediction and Tip
Cirstea should not have a lot of trouble here getting past Liu with the rustiness the only factor to wary of.
Tips:
