Congrats Sorana!
She is on roll since we ate in the same resturant ( her sitting behind me) two years ago
Today I liked also how she moved, topspinned/ moonball Petta, besides her usual power game!
Last year she was probably the only quarantined player to do well in AO, so kudos again!

Some other great wins by Sorana this week: Garcia, Sakkari!
She has been doing it for the last 14 months or so (since last year's AO), kinda of a swan song. She's got Garcia's # and now Sakkari. Last year she beat Sabalenka and had 3 top 5 wins in one month alone.
She is an attacking player, who now moves better and has patience to construct the points under the influence of the new coach:

Thomas Johansson and Sorana Cirstea: The new successful duo on the WTA tour
With ex-top ten man Thomas Johansson, Sorana Cirstea has apparently found a coach who inspires her to new heights on the WTA tour. And who also brought her to the semifinals in Miami.
Thanks!

She's awesome and has been really playing great the last few months, the misspelling of her name on the thread isn't so awesome.Some other great wins by Sorana this week: Garcia, Sakkari!

Well, it is a misspelling, excusable maybe, by some confusion, due to a recent change: that's how we used to write that vocal with "I" and not "A".
Nevertheless she is great, thank you!

Sorana Cirstea scores fifth Top 10 win in the last year with victory over Sakkari in Abu Dhabi | Tennis.com
It was also the milestone 20th Top 10 win of her career.
Actually putting together a winning record of 5-4 against Top 10 players over the last 12 months, a run that started at Indian Wells last March.

My avatar(Sorana Cirstea) won a tournament playing attacking tennis w/o dropping a set in Instanbul!
She demolished the top seed in the final: Often brilliant, not only aggressive. It has served Sorana well to eat side by side with me, in a "Beautiful" restaurant by a lake in Bucharest a couple of years ago :)

I saw her, sitting at a table behind me, in a restaurant a couple of years ago (post 3 above), she might be a tad older now and very slim.She looks so different now from the pic in your avi. Great player to root for!
We also have a younger player, similar style that's been injured recently, but also fun to watch with laser strokes, Jaqueline Cristian, her highest ratting being WTA58:

There's also a somehow relevant racquet in the picture if you look closely, lol.

Great comeback win today over Vondy, and a really good shot at the finals considering her opponent in the semis. I'll be pulling for her. FOR her.
And that shot of her on the bed is the type of picture you would see in a Yonex advertisement if they were selling perfume instead of racquets.
Exactly. I was going to say that a picture is worth a 1,000 words...

She is not the favorite in the semis as Paolini is in great shape, runs a lot and is rested (after Rybakina pulled off against her in the quarters).
But good luck Sorana!
