🎾 WTA Iasi – Quarterfinal Preview
Maria Lourdes Carle vs Sorana Cirstea
🔥 Carle continues her steady rise on clay, now 17–12 in 2025 with solid wins this week over Patricia Maria Tig and Elina Avanesyan. Known for her grinding, baseline-heavy style, the Argentine thrives in long rallies and has already notched quality wins against Bernarda Pera and Sramkova this season. This marks her first WTA quarterfinal against a former top-25 opponent.
🏡 Cirstea is playing with purpose on home soil, enjoying a warm reception from Romanian fans. With two dominant wins under her belt this week and 100+ career clay wins, she brings experience and poise. But inconsistency has lingered in 2025 (10–11 overall), and she hasn't made a semifinal since February.
💥 A stylistic clash awaits: Carle’s volume and stamina vs. Cirstea’s shot selection and experience. The atmosphere could swing this either way.
