Leylah Fernandez vs Sorana Cirstea Preview
Second seed Leylah Fernandez will face Sorana Cirstea in the quarterfinals of the Hong Kong Open 2025. Fernandez reached this stage after a convincing 6-1, 6-4 victory over Wang Xiyu in the opening round, followed by a hard-fought win against Eva Lys in the second round.
In that match against Lys, Fernandez started strong, building a 4-1 lead in the first set. However, Lys rallied back, leveling the score before Fernandez held her nerve to break serve at 5-4 and take the set. Fernandez then cruised through the second set, delivering a dominant 6-1 finish.
On the other side of the draw, Sorana Cirstea booked her place in the quarterfinals with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Dalma Galfi. Cirstea’s route to this stage also included a tough encounter against Ajla Tomljanovic. After dropping the first set 4-6, Cirstea staged an impressive comeback to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. The match was marked by multiple breaks of serve and intense momentum swings, but Cirstea held strong to advance.
Head-to-Head
Fernandez currently leads the rivalry 1-0. Their only previous meeting was earlier this month at the Japan Women’s Open in Osaka, where Fernandez emerged victorious in three sets and went on to win the title.
Fernandez has been in solid form this season, advancing to her fifth quarterfinal. She boasts an impressive 10-1 record at the Hong Kong Open, having been a semifinalist last year and the champion in 2023.
Cirstea is also enjoying a strong run in 2025, reaching the quarterfinals of a tournament for the sixth time this year.
Match Outlook
Given Fernandez’s excellent record at this venue and her ability to handle Cirstea’s shotmaking in their last encounter, she enters the match as the firm favorite. However, with both players showing resilience and quality in recent matches, this is poised to be another closely contested battle.
Fernandez’s consistency and previous experience in big matches should give her the edge, especially on the hard courts of Hong Kong.
Prediction
Pick: Leylah Fernandez to win in three sets.
