Sorana Mihaela Cîrstea (Romanian pronunciation: [soˈrana ˈkɨrste̯a]; born 7 April 1990) is a Romanian professional tennis player. She achieved her career-high ranking of World No. 21 on 12 August 2013 and has appeared in the quarterfinals of the French Open and the final of the Rogers Cup.
Cîrstea is a power player with a deceptively good serve. Her groundstrokes are often erratic with an emphasis on going for a winner leading her to make a high amount of unforced errors per match but with a high number of winners. According to the Tennis Spy, she does not appear to be fast around the court, but actually is deceptively quick covering the ground with her long strides and good reading of the game. As a good doubles player, she is also a very solid volleyer, and also has solid groundstrokes. Her forehands and backhands are delivered quickly on both sides.
Cîrstea was born to Mihai and Liliana in Bucharest, but currently resides in Târgovişte where her parents have the origins. She also has a younger brother, Mihnea.
Cîrstea was introduced to tennis at the age of four by her mother. "My mum and dad have always followed tennis and they encouraged me to start playing the sport when I was young. Sorana's father owns an ice cream factory in Târgovişte.
She has cited Steffi Graf and Roger Federer as her idols. Cîrstea speaks Romanian, English, Spanish, and French.
She is currently coached by Marius Comanescu and Andrei Cociasu.
In 2014, Cîrstea started dating Colombian tennis player Santiago Giraldo.
