At the tournaments of the WTA 1000 category in Indian Wells (quarterfinals) and Miami Open (semifinals), Sorana Kirstya achieved the best results of the past seasons, and our athlete has already prepared her program for the next period.

Sorana Kirstya is preparing for the slag season

Sorana (who will turn 33 on April 7) said she will prepare in Bucharest and Monaco, and then take part in the most important clay tournaments: Madrid (April 25-May 7), Rome (May 9-20) and Roland Garros (28). May – June 11).

“I can no longer say out loud what I would like (a Grand Slam title or entry into the WTA Top 10). I have goals related to results, also related to ranking. But I think the results are the result and we will see how they will be. All I can control is the work I do and I will try to be on the same page. I hope to continue the whole season in the same vein.

I will rest for a few days, then I will start physical training for the dirt season. Then I will start training in Bucharest, then I will go to training in Monaco. Thomas (Johansson) is based there. The program will be classic: Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros.

I believe that all victories mean a lot, they were… including victories with Garcia… Mukhova. Also, she’s a top 20 casual game player. She’s coming off an injury and usually the ranking doesn’t reflect reality. Likewise Vondrousova.

This consistency in the game pleases me the most. I used to have a lot of ups and downs. Now I have increased my basic level and this makes me the most happy” – Sorana Kirsteaafter returning to the country, Eurosport cites.
