Darya Snigur

Before this tournament, the Ukrainian had never made it past the quarterfinals at a competition of this level, so she had already broken her personal record. Snigur already managed to win five matches here, because she started with the qualification, where she defeated another Ukrainian Angelina Kalina – 6:3, 6:0, and then the Spaniard Alyona Bolshova – 6:3, 6:3.

In the main draw, there was a victory over the Frenchwoman Rakotomanga Rajaona – 6:3, 6:3. Unexpectedly, in the second round, she easily defeated the second seed in the tournament, Romanian Jacqueline Christian – 6:1, 6:0. The match against the experienced Chinese Yuan Yue turned out to be difficult – 4:6, 6:0, 7:5.

Sorana Kirstya

The experienced Romanian tennis player has already announced that she is spending the last season of her career, a logical decision considering that the athlete will turn 36 this year. Considering the mentioned circumstances, Kirstya really wants to take the title in front of her native audience, which warmly supported her at this tournament.

Since 2008, the Romanian has consistently finished the season in the top 100, except for one season. In Cluj-Napoca, Sorana started with a victory over the former “neutral” Rahimova, who represents Uzbekistan – 6:4, 6:4, then defeated the Slovenian Zidanshek – 6:1, 6:0. In the quarterfinals, there was another victory over another former “neutral” Potapova, who represents Austria – 7:5, 6:4.

Forecast

The tennis players have never played against each other, and in their first match Kirstya will be the favorite. The Romanian has more experience, she is more than 100 positions higher in the ranking, and she will be warmly supported by the stands. Even taking into account the listed factors, there can be intrigue in the match, because Snigur made it clear that she is a tough nut.

At the tournament, a Ukrainian derby can be formed in the finals, but for this Oliynikova needs to beat Radukana, and Daria needs to win her match. Here I will bet on a total of more than 20.5 games.
