very impressive win by Kessler over Cirstea - aggressive attitude, always looking to come forward, good volleys, touch.. she will go far.. worth a watch

She is already 25. Maybe another late bloomer? She has scored a few good wins as of late.

She’s another NCAA product—mid-20’s seems to be when they find their stride
