The 2nd day at the Australian Open continues with the first round matches and brings another Romanian Sorana Cirstea to meet Zarina Diyas. It will be a very exciting match because Zarina is a dangerous player. scheduled around 04:00.
Sorana Cirstea
He is a 27-year-old Romanian player currently in WTA 37 with great hopes for the new year.
Sorana took off on two tournaments this year, with Brisbane being defeated in Sevastova’s second round, and Hobart lost to Watson in the first round in two sets, with the victory coming in front of Brady.
Cirstea is a player who has greatly improved his game, mainly service, has become more aggressive, attacked when he has the opportunity, is moving very well in the field and is very ambitious.
Zarina Diyas
He is a Kazakhstan player at the age of 24, currently occupying the 60th WTA position.
She participated in a single tournament this year, namely Shenzen, where she managed to reach up to quarters, being defeated in 2 sets by Maria Sharapova.
Diyas has an inconvenient game with good and efficient service, powerful, surprising and varied kicks, very good off-road.
Direct meetings between Cirstea and Diyas
The two met once in Wuhan in 2014, Zarina managed to set a minimum of sets. In this game, both players will give their best to qualify.
My tip: Cirstea vs Diyas
It will be an exciting “fight” between two players who have improved their game in the past year.
Sorana comes to the Australian Open with great expectations, training intensely, serving better and stronger, with a positive and aggressive attitude in the game, exactly what it takes.
Diyas has a game based on the power of kicks, the efficiency of kicks and intense exchanges, a good morale and aggression in the game.
I anticipate a balanced game with many games in which both players will give all the best to qualify in the next phase.
