PREVIEW & TIPS Monica Niculescu VS Sorana Cirstea
Nonsense for the Romanians in the draw at Indian Wells: Sorana Cîrstea and Monica Niculescu are forced to get paid even in the first round of the competition organized in the Californian desert. The two know each other well, they played twice last year, and you can read the party’s analysis of Thursday evening.
Monica Niculescu News
Monica Niculescu started the year well, with 12 victories already in the circuit. In comparison, throughout the 2017 season had only 20 winning games. Moni comes from the qualifiers, where her out-of-the-way style managed to get Ann Li and Roberta Vinci, each time 2-0 to sets. Moreover, the confidence is high for Niculescu, this being seen both on the field and in the results – in both parties already played at Indian Wells it managed to score 6-0. With that nonconformist style, with the disturbing slice and defensive strides, Monica pulls his opponents out of the rhythm and comfort. Having escaped the health problems that have put many sticks in the wheel in 2017, now Niculescu builds his ranking and slowly climbs among the top 50 sportsmen of the world. Now he is 71, but after Indian Wells and until the grass season has no points to defend, so he can go quite a bit in the hierarchy.
Monica Niculescu VS Sorana Cirstea STATS
Monica Niculescu shows a better shape, and on the hard side she is advantaged in a direct duel with Sorana. The latter prefers the clay, a surface that twice defeated Moni in the past. The direct score is 4-3 for Niculescu, with all four wins coming on the hard. What’s more, their last fast-field meeting took place right here, at Indian Wells last year, in the first round, when Niculescu managed to score 6-1 in the decisive set. I expect to see many prolonged shifts by Monica, they will have the gift of annoying her and taking out Cîrstea. Desiring to finish the points more quickly, Sorana will force and have a high number of unprovoked errors.
Sorana Cirstea News
Sorana Cîrstea is still ranked among the top 40 players in the world, but looks, as we are accustomed to, inconsistency in evolutions. The player in Târgovişte has a negative balance in the WTA circuit in 2018: 4 wins and 6 defeats. Here can be added the winning game in Cluj, in the Fed Cup, with Carol Zhao, disputed in special conditions, with the audience pushing it from behind. Sorana has a rich technical arsenal, is able to capture a much better-ranked opponent (see Elise Mertens from Doha), but can also lose with a much weaker opponent – Viktoria Kuzmova (4-6, 2-6, place 113 WTA) at the end of February in Budapest. Sorana prefers the fast game in which to use his good forehand. Under pressure, forced to strike in times of crisis, rarely finds the best solutions.
