Tournament: WTA Miami

Location: Miami Gardens 9 (Miami)

Match date: March 29, 2023

The prestigious tournament in Miami has already reached the quarter-final stage, here we have prepared a forecast for the match between Sorana Kyrstya and Arina Sobolenko.

Kyrsta is a strong medium villager

Sorana Kyrstea has been in the top 100 for about 15 years, dropping out only once at the end of the year. The Romanian has a lot of experience, although she did not have great victories on her account, but in children’s and junior tennis she promised to be very good. Now the athlete is 32 years old, he is the 74th racket of the world. At the last tournament in Indian Wells, Kirstya played well, reaching the quarterfinals, where she lost to Iga Šventek without much of a chance. In Miami, they managed to beat four tennis players without losing a set, the list of “victims” is solid: Fernanda Contreras Gomez, Caroline Garcia, Carolina Muchova and Marketa Vondrusova. In three out of four matches, the Romanian was listed as the weaker, which did not prevent her from winning

Sobolenko in great shape

The Belarusian tennis player needs no introduction, she is currently the second racket in the world, and this year she won her first helmet in a singles game. In addition to the triumph at the Australian Open, Sobolenko won the tournament in Adelaide and reached the final of Indian Wells. The competitor also has no problems in Miami, confidently defeating Shelby Rogers, Maria Bouzkova and Barbora Kreychikova.

Match prediction

The tennis players had never played each other before, so this confrontation will definitely not be fundamental. Sobolenko is mentioned as a big favorite, after all, she is the second racket in the world and is 8 years younger than her rival. The Romanian can impose a fight, but if the Belarusian shows her tennis, the chances of intrigue will be small. We believe that Sobolenko should advance to the semi-finals of the tournament, so we take away her victory with a handicap of -4.5 games.
