Sorana Cirstea said she is feeling the best she has in years and is brimming with confidence after stunning world number two Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 6-4 at the Miami Open on Wednesday.
The unseeded Romanian, who turns 33 next week, delivered a stunning performance to beat the Australian Open champion and make her second WTA 1000 semi-final nearly 10 years after reaching her first."I started very young, by 17 I was top 100, and at 18 I finished the year I think 30-something," she told reporters.
"But then with the years you start to mature, you start to enjoy the game a bit more, so right now I'm really enjoying tennis probably in a way that when I was 20 I didn't really enjoy it. The world number 74 has been doing damage in both legs of the 'Sunshine Double' having reached the quarter-final at Indian Wells earlier this month, where she fell to world number one Iga Swiatek."So coming into here, I had the confidence, I had the work that I put in in the past couple of months now this week, less emotional, back to work."
