Sorana Cirstea and Na Li to play the semifinal in Toronto.

We have an interesting semifinal in the lower part of the draw in Toronto.

The withdrawal from the tournament from Sharapova and Azarenka opened up the door to Na Li (seeded no.4) and the unseeded Sorana Cirstea (ranked world no. 27).

While we are not really surprised to see Na Li in the quarters, we are happy to see an unexpected Sorana Cirstea getting to the final 4 after defeating tough players such as Wozniacki, Jankovic and Petra Kvitova.

Sorana. I am not surprised

Apparently the surprise is not shared by the Romanian that commented “It’s my first time playing Toronto. So far, so good I have to say, no?

It might come as a surprise for many people. It’s not really a surprise for me because I know how hard I have been working for a couple of weeks. I know the steps that I have been making.’’

The semis. Li vs. Cirstea

Head to head is 4-1 for Na Li that also leads 2-0 on hard courts. Details
