Notes on today's game went a lot like this ......
Mirra Andreeva - Sorana Cirstea
At Roland Garros two years ago I noted ....
Mirra Andreeva is only 17 yo, yet already ranked #35 and would move into the top 30 with the win. She is the second highest ranked teenager in the world and is the only one under 18yo inside the top 160. Andreeva is Russian but has also trained in France for a couple of years. This is her 3rd R4 of a slam in four starts and she is 8-1 at RG (three wins in qualifying), losing in R3 last year to Coco Gauff in three sets and she is ranked 110+ places higher now. Since April she has had a new coach in former Wimbledon champion Conchita Martinez, who is often mentioned as one of the best clay courters to have never won RG, but she has 7 quarter finals and four semi finals in Paris on her CV and a lot of experience to pass on and has already helped Andreeva bring more variety to her game.
Andreeva is still a teenager and only turned 19 five weeks ago, she is up to #8 and could move up a spot were she to win and Svitolina ( see above) lose later today. I am pleased to see that she is still with Conchita Martinez, who is very down to earth, likeable, but also carries huge respect and is a fantastic role model for a young player. Andreeva has played RG three times making the 3rd round in 2023 when she lost to Coco Gauff in three sets, the last four in 2024 beating Aryna Sabalenka at this QF stage and reached the QF's last year. She will have felt disappointed she did not go further each time and this is her big opportunity to put things right.
She meets evergreen Sorana Cirstea who, at 36 yo and in her 20th year of tour ( which is to be her last), is playing her best tennis and has made her first RG quarter final since 2009, when Andreeva would have been 2yo! This is actually only Cirstea's second last 8 at a slam in 67 attempts!
At the Miami Open in 2024 I wrote .....
Cirstea has played really well to beat Sloane Stephens and Daria Kasatkina here in Miami and the win in the first of those avenged her loss to Stephens in Indian Wells, which was her only h2h loss to an American opponent in 14 matches. The Romanian came into the event ranked #24, her peak rank of #21 was achieved more than a decade ago, but she is in the form of her life and at age 33 (she turns 34 in two weeks) is finally finding some real consistency. Cirstea has always been talented, fun to watch and an aggressive player, but too often failed to back up one good result with another. That is now changing and 54 wins over top 20 opponents when her own ranking has never been that high, highlights what she is capable of . Cirstea beat two top 4 players in a run to the Miami semi finals 12 months ago, so has a lot of ranking points to still defend, but breaking into the top 20 before her birthday would be a huge achievement and is surely a target.
She actually made it last month and on May 18th became the oldest player in history to break into the top 20 for the first time! She is #18 today and would move up to #14 with the win, which would be Dreamland on her farewell tour. But Andreeva is half her age and has spent most of her brief career at a much higher ranking and will have learned plenty for their only previous meeting, which came in Linz on clay last month, when the Russian won 6-2 in the third set. That is not to belittle Cirstea,who is a fun watch and who has had a fantastic career and never had anything easy, but just highlights where they are in the tennis pecking order and where they were standing when pure ability was being handed out!
Andreeva is 19-3 on the surface this year and has only lost to elite opponents. Cirstea has lost her last five matches at RG to players ranked top 10, all in straight sets, taking just 16 games, no more than four in any.
I expect Andreeva to win and if she plays with the aggression she did in the third set in Linz last month when they met and especially if Cirstea is a little nervous, and I feel she might be, this could be quite quick. 1.75 units Mirra Andreeva to win 2-0 sets @ 2.34 Pinnacle/Vegas Line.
For the 6th game running at Roland Garros against top 10 ranked opponents Cirstea took just four or fewer games!
Good luck!
