What time does Sorana Cîrstea play, on Tuesday, for a place in the semifinals at Roland-Garros

Sorana Cîrstea, ranked 18th in the world, plays on Tuesday with the Russian Mirra Andreeva, ranked 8th WTA, in the quarters at the Grand Slam tournament at Roland-Garros.

The game will be the first on the main arena, Philippe-Chatrier, and will start at 12:00, writes News.ro.

Mirra Andreeva, 19 years old, and Sorana Cîrstea, 36 years old, were opponents once before, in the quarterfinals in Linz, also in 2026. Then Andreeva prevailed, score 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-2.

At only 19 years old, Mirra Andreeva is one of the most promising players of the new wave and already has WTA 1000 level titles in her records, won in 2025 in Indian Wells and Dubai.

In Paris, her most important performance so far is reaching the semifinals, the phase in which she stopped at the 2024 edition, defeated by Jasmine Paolini. In 2025 she was eliminated in the quarters after a failure with Lois Boisson.

On Sunday, Jil Teichmann passed in the round of 16, score 6-3 / 6-2.

Sorana Cîrstea, in one of the best moments of her career

The Romanian qualified for the quarterfinals of Roland Garros for the second time in her career, 17 years away from the moment when she managed this feat for the first time.

Sorana Cîrstea comes after the semi-final in Rome, a tournament in which she achieved the first victory of her career in front of a reigning world leader, Aryna Sabalenka. The course at the Foro Italico propelled her into the WTA top 20, also a first.

In the matches played so far at Roland Garros 2026, she got past Xiyu Wang in the round of 16, Solana Sierra in the 3rd round, where she won a double 6-0, Eva Lys in the 2nd round, and Ksenia Efremova in the opening round.

Our national team has never made it past the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament. She also played in the penultimate act at the US Open in 2023.
