Other than that, the World No. 47 has struggled to achieve a noteworthy result in any other tournament she has played. In the ongoing event in Cleveland, she won a lopsided three-set match against Moyuka Uchijima in the first round.
2024 has not been a great season for Sara Sorribes Tormo. The Spaniard has a 12-19 win-loss record, getting eliminated in the first round being a norm for her this year. She last played at the Paris Olympics where she lost to Barbora Krejcikova in the opening round.
The bulk of Tormo's wins have come on clay. She reached the quarter-final of the Morocco Open (losing to Mayar Sherif) and the round of 16 at the Madrid Open (losing to top seed Iga Swiatek). At the 2024 Tennis in the Land, she defeated Wang Yafan in straight sets in the first round.

Peyton Stearns vs Sara Sorribes Tormo prediction
Hard courts have been the most susceptible surface for Stearns in her career so far. The Spaniard is yet to win a title or even reach a final on the surface where she has a poor win record of 39 percent.
On the other hand, Sara Sorribes Tormo has a 50 percent win record on the hard courts in her career. She has two titles, including the last edition of this event where she defeated Ekaterina Alexandrova for the title. However this year, the Spaniard has won a solitary match on the surface, as she beat Linda Noskova in the first round of the Abu Dhabi Open.
The current form indicates an advantage for Peyton Stearns to win this match and reach the quarter-final.
Pick- Stearns to win in straight sets.
