Simona Halep vs Jaqueline Cristian: Prediction
Cristian will come into the clash with a career indoor Hardcourt record of 39-23 and is 13-4 on the surface this season while having a season record of 33-23 across all surfaces. Halep will take the court with a career indoor Hardcourt 51-34 and is 4-1 on indoor Hardcourts for the season and has a 20-9 record across all surfaces this season.
Looking at these numbers, their past performances and recent results, Simona Halep will be the favourite for the tie but Cristian is herself in a good form and can put up quite a challenge against the former World No. 1. But nevertheless, Halep should cross the line.
Prediction: Simona Halep to win in 3-sets.
