Raluca, even though I like Sorana more. Cirstea has neither the ability to overpower Ralu or outlast her. Raluca can just do more with the ball at this point in their careers.
Sorana is most talentated. It's younger than Ralu, at 17 years is 107, Olaru at 17 years was 260. At tehnic part they are equal, but at the mental Sorana is more strong than Ralu, this is the big difference betwen this girls.
I would say the jury is definately out. At this point their prospects look very similar but that of course doesn't mean one won't have a better career than the other. But at this point it really does look 50-50 to me. I will go with Sorana but only because I like her slightly more, not for any rational intelligent reason.
Raluca-world no. 56, better results this year, including 3 matches won in Grand Slams
I think that says it all for now. Sorana is too inconsistent and she's suffered too many surprising defeats. In the future things may change, but for now Ralu is better! I think she deserves it too.
Sorana is definitely talented but I feel that Raluca is more talented and can do a lot of different things with the ball and I have been more impressed with her game. I love them both though.
Olaru IMO .. Cirstea did reach the WTA Final, but hasnt impressed me since .. And in Budapest she didnt play great, just that the draw was excellent for the final.
I'm certainly not convinced Olaru is superior to Cirstea. Sorana has had two tournaments this year where she has beaten not one, not two, but three top 100 players. Raluca has yet to ever beat more than two top 100 players in a tournament. When Sorana gets on a roll and gets a good opportunity that seems to be when she plays her best tennis. That bodes very well for the future. Sorana is also a full year younger than Raluca so in terms of age she is actually well ahead of where Raluca was a year ago. I would still say longterm it is impossible to make a sensible judgement on which one will have a better career. I can only say time will tell.
I also believe Monica Niculescu will be very much in the mix amongst the top Romanians too.
Sorana might be the better player or Raluca might be the better player. I don't think it's so clearcut to say that Sorana is obviously more talented or that Raluca is obviously more talented.
Sorana has gotten a lot of new fans since the AO 08 but Raluca did reach the 3R at Roland Garros from qualies and she beat decent players to get there. I agree with ChrisCHorse's last sentence in the first paragraph.
Besides, we have a few more talented Romanians coming up as well. Instead of comparing them, best to appreciate the young talent fans in general are getting.
Umm...why is this here? Sorana has a forum with a photos thread in it too:shrug:
I voted Olaru. That's coz I like her more
I only rooted for Sori that time because she was desperate for a win. If they play now then I will go with Olaru but lately Sori's been more and more likeable in my opinion.
