Sorana Cirstea was left speechless after beating second seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 6-4 to move into the Miami Open semifinals and recording the best victory of her career in terms of her opponent’s ranking.
After reaching the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open earlier this month, her first quarterfinal at the WTA 1000 level since 2017, the world No.74 Cirstea continues to perform well in the United States, this time advancing to the semifinals of the Miami Open without dropping a set.
