Ostapenko vs Cirstea Prediction
Jelena Ostapenko leads Sorana Cirstea 2-0 in their head-to-head, winning both meetings in 2017. Ostapenko received a bye in the first round of the Italian Open, but am not sure if that’s a good thing, after his total shellacking at the hands of Samsonova in Madrid where she lost 6-2, 6-0. She’ll be desperate to get on the court here. And this is hardly from a stroll. Cirstea is on a roll with a near-perfect record on clay this season. She is 7-1, capturing the WTA 125K in Catalonia at the weekend. She’s also won her opening match in Rome, beating Katie Volynets in three sets. It’s a tight line and this has the potential of a three-setter. We’re backing the Romanian to win a set in this one.
