Command Analysis
Belinda Bencic approached the Cincinnati tournament in a fantastic form, she needs to defend ranking points after reaching the quarter-final of that tournament in the previous season. Swiss player managed to win three matches at Toronto tournament, but in the quarter-final she was beaten by the eventual finalist, Haddad Maia (6:2, 3:6, 3:6).
Since the start of the season Bencic has recorded 31 victories in 45 matches. Counting only matches on hard surface, she has ten victories and six defeats.
Since the start of the season Sorana Cirstea is lacking consistency. Romanian player is alternating successful tournaments with critical failures. She reached the semi-final of Birmingham tournament on the grass, but after that she managed to win only one match in two next tournaments at Eastbourne and at Wimbledon.
Cirstea's transition to hard turned out to be unsuccessful. She suffered a defeat to Selekhmeteva at Prague (5:7, 4:6).
