On the other hand, Gracheva's strong return game, especially on second serves, indicates her ability to challenge Cirstea's game effectively. However, her overall win rate and breakpoint conversion lag behind Cirstea's recent performance levels.
Considering Cirstea's head-to-head dominance, greater success under pressure, and slightly superior second serve statistic, she is favored to continue her success over Gracheva in the upcoming match.
Overall, Cirstea is likely to emerge victorious, given her track record and current form.
