Command Analysis

Simona Halep

Romania

Current form

Halep's doping suspension ended last year. However, her return to the tour was unsuccessful. Last season, Simona played five matches, in which she managed to win only one victory. At the start of 2025, the former world number one had not played yet, and decided to start the season with a home tournament in Cluj-Napoca. She performed here once in 2021 and was able to qualify for the finals then.

Professional qualities

In her prime, Simone was distinguished by her endurance, reliable and tenacious playing on the back line. She has a well-established technique, there are no weak points in the game as such. Now, of course, she is far from her optimal form, especially with regard to speed and mobility in moving around the court.

Current indicators in the tour

Halep is ranked 870th in the world rankings. The Romanian is already 33 years old, it will obviously be difficult to return to her former positions.

In only one of the five previous matches with Simona, more than nine games were played in the first set.

Lucia Bronzetti

Italy

Current form

Bronzetti didn't have much success at the start of the season. Only at the Australian Open did she overcome the barrier of the first round, and won a resounding victory over Victoria Azarenka (6-2, 7-6) in Melbourne. Last week, Lucia tried her hand at the gym in Linz and lost in the first round to Dayana Yastremskaya (6-7, 5-7). In Cluj-Napoca, the Italian played once in her entire career in 2022 and then covered the racket in the first round.

Professional qualities

Bronzetti relies on defense, feels good on the back line, returns the balls, but does not show himself too actively in attack. The Italian's weak spot is the second serve.

Current indicators in the tour

In 2025, Bronzetti played seven matches on the tour, in which she scored only two victories. At the moment, she is in a modest 72nd position in the world ranking, and her best result in her career is 46th place.
