The Romanian tennis player Sorana Cirstea achieved one of the most epic victories of her career this Thursday after coming back from a match that she lost 6-2 and 5-1, against the Czech Marketa Vondrousova, in which she also had to save several match points .
Cirstea did not stop fighting in the middle of her match for the quarterfinals of the Dubai Tournament despite the large difference and obtained an unthinkable victory in three sets by 2-6, 7-6 and 6-2.
The Romanian, throughout the second set, had to save match points that the Czech was unable to achieve when the score was 5-2, 5-3, and 6-5.

After achieving the feat, Cirstea held her head, greeted her devastated rival on the net and smiled numerous times excited which only encouraged the applause that came from the audience.
“This has to be the best comeback of my career. To be honest, I was just thinking about fighting one more ball, I wasn’t thinking about winning the match. But he told me ‘at least make it attractive to the public, try to make this longer,'” the Romanian said at the end of the match.
The Romanian indicated that after “somehow she managed to obtain this victory.” “I still don’t know how I did it,” he mentioned.
