Sorana Cirstea Form

Sorana Cirstea has proven she can shine against the sport's elite, marking 2023 with standout victories against Grand Slam winners Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka.

Her commanding 6-2, 6-1 win over Maria Sakkari in Abu Dhabi's first round further attests to her high-level play.

Although Cirstea faced a tough 6-2, 6-0 defeat by a peaking Daria Kasatkina, who reached the final, in the Abu Dhabi quarterfinals, this loss is hardly a setback given Kasatkina's exceptional form.

Sloane Stephens Form

Sloane Stephens has had a mixed start to the 2024 season, with her performance not quite living up to expectations.

Her Australian Open campaign showed promise with early wins, but it came to an abrupt end in the third round against Anna Kalinskaya, where Stephens struggled, ultimately losing 7-6(8), 6-1, 6-4.

This loss, coupled with a disappointing first-round defeat by Yue Yuan in Hobart, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(5), and a second-round exit in Brisbane to Elise Mertens, 2-6, 6-1, 6-3, underscores a concerning inconsistency in her game.

These outcomes suggest Stephens is facing challenges in maintaining form and closing out matches, raising questions about her ability to compete with the circuit's rising talents.
