Great to see her win a title.
Tell us more...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

Not much to say, she was having dinner with her family (apparently) at the table next to us and a friend(former class mate) told me to turn around and look behind me lol...Great to see her win a title.

When she left she looked shorter than on TV, was in sneakers and in a sports outfit.
I grew up myself and done sports close to the place:

Cirstea storms to first title in 13 years in Istanbul
Sorana Cirstea claimed her second career WTA singles title at long last, upsetting No.1 seed Elise Mertens to earn the TEB BNP Paribas Tennis Championship Istanbul crown. Cirstea did not drop a set all week.

If you lose weight/are slim than you'd have a gaunt face...And it could also have something to do with the effort.When did Cirstea age this much? She looks quite old for being 31.

Good to see her win something. She's one of those players I just shake my head that she hasn't accomplished more, because she is very talented.

Uh oh, who’s gonna bump this thread?
Pegula got her in straights today.

^ One could see that coming, unfortunately.
Sori looking great in the photo posted by Spystud, but I must say that as I looked the highlights of that final against Mertens from Youtube I was surprised how old(!) Sorana looked! Two years ago in the matches she still looked so young and fresh but seems like she has aged like six years in two!?! She should stay away from Tiriacs and the likes, doesn't do any good to her!

When I said she beat Keys last night, my wife asked “who” I replied the hottest woman in tennis. I don’t think she appreciated that.

First time I ever watched her play. I think she has a very interesting style of play. Hits hard with more spin than most wta players. Surprised to see she’s ranked so low with how she played last night. Also surprised she is 33, she is in great shape and is super fit. I hope she gets a few more Ws in IW.

She was as high as No. 21 on 12 August 2013, always an attacking player, but better fit and more consistent lately (under the influence of the new coach).
I think that she won at the end of the third set against Garcia, primarly with her defence and she would put a better fight than Raducanu against Swiatek (similar to how I heard Andreescu did)...

Can’t wait to watch her play again! If she fights like yesterday she has a shot!
